Psalms 140:4-10

⁴Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked man, preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.

⁵The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. Selah.

⁶I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.

⁷Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

⁸Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. Selah.

⁹As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

¹⁰Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
