Psalm 140:1

New Century Version

Lord, rescue me from evil people; protect me from cruel people

See the chapter Copy

Lord, guard me from the power of wicked people; protect me from cruel people who plan to trip me up.

He saves me from my enemies. You set me over those who hate me. You saved me from violent people.

My God, save me from the power of the wicked and from the hold of evil and cruel people.

Don’t let liars settle in the land. Let evil quickly hunt down cruel people.

Lord, rise up, face the enemy, and throw them down. Save me from the wicked with your sword.

God, defend me. Argue my case against those who don’t follow you. Save me from liars and those who do evil.
