ASV_Strong : Psalms 140
1.
2. Who devise[H2803] mischiefs[H7451] in their heart[H3820]; Continually[H3117] do they gather themselves together[H1481] for war[H4421].
3. They have sharpened[H8150] their tongue[H3956] like a serpent[H5175]; Adders[H5919]' poison[H2534] is under their lips[H8193]. [H5542][[Selah
4. Keep[H8104] me[H3068], O Jehovah, from the hands[H3027] of the wicked[H7563]; Preserve[H5341] me from the violent[H2555] man[H376]: Who have purposed[H2803] to thrust[H1760] aside my steps[H6471].
5. The proud[H1343] have hid[H2934] a snare[H6341] for me[H2256], and cords; They have spread[H6566] a net[H7568] by the wayside[H3027]; They have set[H7896] gins[H4170] for me[H5542]. [[Selah
6. I said[H559] unto Jehovah[H3068], Thou art my God[H410]: Give ear[H238] unto the voice[H6963] of my supplications[H8469], O Jehovah[H3068].
7. O Jehovah[H3069] the Lord[H136], the strength[H5797] of my salvation[H3444], Thou hast covered[H5526] my head[H7218] in the day[H3117] of battle[H5402].
8. Grant[H5414] not[H3068], O Jehovah, the desires[H3970] of the wicked[H7563]; Further[H6329] not his evil device[H2162], lest they exalt[H7311] themselves[H5542]. [[Selah
9. As for the head[H7218] of those that compass me about[H4524], Let the mischief[H5999] of their own lips[H8193] cover them[H3680].
10. Let burning coals[H1513] fall[H4131] upon them[H5307]: Let them be cast into the fire[H784], Into deep pits[H4113], whence they shall not rise[H6965].
11. An evil speaker[H376] shall not be established[H3559] in the earth[H776]: Evil[H7451] shall hunt[H6679] the violent[H2555] man[H376] to overthrow him[H4073].
12. I know[H3045] that Jehovah[H3068] will maintain[H6213] the cause[H1779] of the afflicted[H6041], And justice[H4941] for the needy[H34].
13. Surely the righteous[H6662] shall give thanks[H3034] unto thy name[H8034]: The upright[H3477] shall dwell[H3427] in thy presence[H6440].
