Psalms 139:8-14

⁸O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.

⁹Deliver 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.

¹⁰As for the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.

¹¹Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and thou shalt cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up under them.

¹²A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

¹³I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.

¹⁴Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
