Psalm 140

1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil MenTo the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Preserve me from violent men,

2 Who plan evil things in their hearts; They continually gather together for war.3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men, Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah6 I said to the Lord: You are my God; Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; Do not further his wicked scheme, Lest they be exalted. Selah9 As for the head of those who surround me, Let the evil of their lips cover them;10 Let burning coals fall upon them; Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.11 Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 12 I know that the Lord will maintain The cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor.13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence.

Psalm 141

1 Lord, I cry out to You;

Prayer for Safekeeping from WickednessA Psalm of David. Make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.

2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice wicked works With men who work iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.5 Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff, And they hear my words, for they are sweet.7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, As when one plows and breaks up the earth.8 But my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord; In You I take refuge; Do not leave my soul destitute.9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.

Psalm 142

1 I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.

A Plea for Relief from PersecutorsA Contemplation Of David. A Prayer When He Was in the Cave.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble.3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me.4 Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul.5 I cried out to You, O Lord: I said, You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.6 Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I.7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, For You shall deal bountifully with me.
