Psalm 140:1

God's Word

Rescue me from evil people, O Lord. Keep me safe from violent people.

See the chapter Copy

Protect me from the hands of wicked people, O Lord. Keep me safe from violent people. They try to trip me.

He saves me from my enemies. You lift me up above my opponents. You rescue me from violent people.

My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person, from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust.

Do not let slanderers prosper on earth. Let evil hunt down violent people with one blow after another.

Arise, O Lord; confront them! Bring them to their knees! With your sword rescue my life from wicked people.

Judge me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation. Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
