Psalms 140:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 140
1Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; Protect me from violent men 2Who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars. 3They sharpen their tongues like a snake; The venom of a viper is under their lips. Selah 4Keep me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Protect me from violent men Who intend to trip up my feet. 5The proud have hidden a trap for me, and snares; They have spread a net at the wayside; They have set snares for me. SelahKing James Version

Chapter 140
1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, 2who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. 3They make their tongue sharp as a serpent 's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah 4Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. 5The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. SelahNew International Version
