Psalm 140
|
|
| 140:1
Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; |
|
| 140:2
Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered
together for war. |
|
| 140:3
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under
their lips. Selah. |
|
| 140:4
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the
violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. |
|
| 140:5
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by
the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. |
|
| 140:6
I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications,
O LORD. |
|
| 140:7
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in
the day of battle. |
|
| 140:8
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked
device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. |
|
| 140:9
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their
own lips cover them. |
|
| 140:10
Let burning coals
fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they
rise not up again. |
 (140:10) "Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire;
into deep pits, that they rise not up again."
A prayer that God will burn people to death.

right of the poor. |

dwell in thy presence.
