Psalm 140:1

American Standard Version (1901)

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

See the chapter Copy

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
