Psalm 140:2

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Who reckoned evils in the heart; all the day they will gather together wars.

See the chapter Copy

They will sojourn, they will hide, they will watch my heels as they waited for my soul

He will purpose vanity upon his bed; he will set himself upon a way not good; he will not reject evil

From thee shall he come forth purposing evil against Jehovah, a counselor of Belial.

For they drew near their heart as a furnace in their lying in wait: all the night their baker slept; in the morning it burnt as the fire of flame.

Deceit in the heart of those devising evil: and joy to those counseling peace.

I peace: and when I shall speak, they for war.

How long will ye set upon a man? ye will kill all of you: as a wall inclining, a wall thrust down.

My friends and my neighbors will stand from before my stroke, and my kindred stood from far off.

For they stretched out evil upon thee: they purposed a device, they will not prevail.

For behold, they lay in wait for my soul: the strong will gather against me; not my transgression and not my sin, O Jehovah.
