Selah.\n \n4\u00a0Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.\n \n5\u00a0The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.\n \n6\u00a0I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.\n \n7\u00a0O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.\n \n8\u00a0Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.\n \n9\u00a0As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.\n \n10\u00a0Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.\n \n11\u00a0Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.\n \n12\u00a0I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.\n \n13\u00a0Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.","title":"King James Version: Psalms: Psalms Chapter 140","type":"page"}
