1 David prayeth to be delivered from Saul and Doeg. 8 He prayeth against them. 12 He comforteth himself by confidence in God.

140:1 ¶ {To the chief Musician, 5329 z8764 A Psalm 4210 of David.} 1732 Deliver 2502 z8761 me, O LORD, 3068 from the evil 7451 man: 120 x4480 preserve 5341 z8799 me from the violent 2555 man; 376 x4480

140:2 Which x834 imagine 2803 z8804 mischiefs 7451 in [their] heart; 3820 continually 3117 x3605 are they gathered together 1481 z8799 [for] war. 4421

140:3 They have sharpened 8150 z8804 their tongues 3956 like x3644 a serpent; 5175 adders' 5919 poison 2534 [is] under x8478 their lips. 8193 Selah. 5542

140:4 Keep 8104 z8798 me, O LORD, 3068 from the hands 3027 x4480 of the wicked; 7563 preserve 5341 z8799 me from the violent y2555 man; 376 x4480 x2555 who x834 have purposed 2803 z8804 to overthrow 1760 z8800 my goings. 6471

140:5 The proud 1343 have hid 2934 z8804 a snare 6341 for me, and cords; 2256 they have spread 6566 z8804 a net 7568 by the wayside; 3027 4570 they have set 7896 z8804 gins 4170 for me. Selah. 5542

140:6 I said 559 z8804 unto the LORD, 3068 Thou x859 [art] my God: 410 hear 238 z8685 the voice 6963 of my supplications, 8469 O LORD. 3068

140:7 O GOD 3069 the Lord, 136 the strength 5797 of my salvation, 3444 thou hast covered 5526 z8804 my head 7218 in the day 3117 of battle. 5402

140:8 Grant 5414 z8799 not, x408 O LORD, 3068 the desires 3970 of the wicked: 7563 further 6329 z8686 not x408 his wicked device; 2162 [lest] they exalt 7311 z8799 themselves. Selah. 5542

140:9 [As for] the head 7218 of those that compass me about, 4524 let the mischief 5999 of their own lips 8193 cover 3680 z8762 them.

140:10 Let burning coals 1513 fall 4131 z8735 z8675 z8686 upon x5921 them: let them be cast 5307 z8686 into the fire; 784 into deep pits, 4113 that they rise x6965 not x1077 up again. y6965 z8799

140:11 Let not x1077 an evil speaker 376 3956 be established 3559 z8735 in the earth: 776 evil 7451 shall hunt 6679 z8799 the violent 2555 man 376 to overthrow 4073 [him].

140:12 I know 3045 z8804 that x3588 the LORD 3068 will maintain 6213 z8799 the cause 1779 of the afflicted, 6041 [and] the right 4941 of the poor. 34

140:13 Surely x389 the righteous 6662 shall give thanks 3034 z8686 unto thy name: 8034 the upright 3477 shall dwell 3427 z8799 x853 in thy presence. 6440
