Psalm 140:4

English Standard Version 2016

Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.

See the chapter Copy

Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

It is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice.

You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.

so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
