Psalms 139:7-13

⁷O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.

⁸Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised mischief against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. Pause.

⁹As for the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.

¹⁰Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up under them.

¹¹A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

¹²I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.

¹³Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
