Psalms 140:7-12

⁷Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

⁸Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

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

¹⁰Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

¹¹An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹²I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
