Psalms 140:1 in context

Psalms 140:1–4

Selected verse

Deliver me, LORD, from evil men.

Preserve me from violent men:

those who devise mischief in their hearts.

They continually gather themselves together for war.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.

Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked.

Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
