Psalms 140:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 140
2
Who devise evil things in
their
hearts;
They continually stir up wars.
3
They sharpen their tongues like a snake;
The venom of a viper is under their lips.
Selah
4
Keep me,
Lord
, from the hands of the wicked;
Protect me from violent men
Who intend to trip up my feet.
5
The proud have hidden a trap for me, and snares;
They have spread a net at the wayside;
They have set snares for me.
Selah
6
I said to the
Lord
, 'You are my God;
Listen,
Lord
, to the sound of my pleadings.
7
God
the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head on the day of battle.
8
Do not grant,
Lord
, the desires of the wicked;
Do not bring about his evil planning,
so that
they
are not
exalted.
Selah
9
'As for the head of those who surround me,
May the harm of their lips cover them.
King James Version

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4
Keep me, O
Lord
, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
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.
6
I said unto the
Lord
, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O
Lord
.
7
O
God
the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8
Grant not, O
Lord
, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
