Psalm 140:8

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Don't let the wicked succeed in doing what they want, or else they might never stop planning evil.

See the chapter Copy

Someone told David, “Ahithophel is helping Absalom plot against you!” David said, “Please, LORD, keep Ahithophel's plans from working!”

By your power, kings win wars, and your servant David is saved from deadly swords.

Don't let them do to me what they want. People tell lies about me and make terrible threats,

But I dreaded the sound of your enemies saying, ‘We defeated Israel with no help from the LORD.’ ”
