Psalm 140 📜 📕 ↷
Rescue Me from Evil Men
1 A Psalm of David. Lord I have cried to thee, hear me: attend to my voice when I shall cry to thee.📜💬📚
2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight: the elevation of my hands as evening sacrifice.📜💬📚
3 Set o Lord a watch to my mouth: and a door round about to my lips.📜💬📚
4 Decline not my heart into words of malice, to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the chief of them.📜💬📚
5 The just shall rebuke me in mercy, and shall reprehend me: but let not the oil of a sinner fat my head. Because yet also my prayer is in their good pleasures:📜💬📚
6 their judges are swallowed up joined to the rock. They shall hear my words because they have prevailed:📜💬📚
7 as the grossness of the earth is broken out upon the earth. Our bones are dissipated near to hell:📜💬📚
8 for to thee, o Lord, Lord are mine eyes; in thee have I hoped, take not away my soul.📜💬📚
9 Keep me from the snare, which they have set for me: and from the scandals of them that work iniquity.📜💬📚
10 Sinners shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.📜💬📚
