Psalms 140:8-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 140
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.
10
May burning coals fall upon them;
May they be cast into the fire,
Into bottomless pits from which they cannot rise.
11
May a slanderer not endure on the earth;
May evil hunt a violent person violently.'
12
I know that the
Lord
will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
13
Certainly the righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The upright will dwell in Your presence.
King James Version
Chapter 140
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.
10
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12
I know that the
Lord
will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 140
8
Lord
, do not grant the desires of the wicked;
do not let them achieve their goals.
Otherwise, they will become proud.
Selah
9
When those who surround me rise up,
may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.
10
Let hot coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
into the abyss, never again to rise.
11
Do not let a slanderer stay in the land.
Let evil relentlessly hunt down a violent man.
12
I know that the
Lord
upholds
the just cause of the poor,
justice for the needy.
13
Surely the righteous will praise your name;
the upright will live in your presence.
New Living Translation
Chapter 140
8
Lord
, do not let evil people have their way.
Do not let their evil schemes succeed,
or they will become proud.
Interlude
9
Let my enemies be destroyed
by the very evil they have planned for me.
10
Let burning coals fall down on their heads.
Let them be thrown into the fire
or into watery pits from which they can’t escape.
11
Don’t let liars prosper here in our land.
Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.
12
But I know the
Lord
will help those they persecute;
he will give justice to the poor.
13
Surely righteous people are praising your name;
the godly will live in your presence.
English Standard Version
Chapter 140
8
Grant not, O
Lord
, the desires of the wicked;
do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted!
Selah
9
As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10
Let burning coals fall upon them!
Let them be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
11
Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
12
I know that the
Lord
will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall dwell in your presence.
New International Version
Chapter 140
8
Do not grant the wicked their desires,
Lord
;
do not let their plans succeed.
9
Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
10
May burning coals fall on them;
may they be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits, never to rise.
11
May slanderers not be established in the land;
may disaster hunt down the violent.
12
I know that the
Lord
secures justice for the poor
and upholds the cause of the needy.
13
Surely the righteous will praise your name,
and the upright will live in your presence.
New King James Version
Chapter 140
8
Do not grant, O
Lord
, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his
wicked
scheme,
Lest
they be exalted.
Selah
9
“
As for
the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
10
Let burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11
Let not a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow
him.
”
12
I know that the
Lord
will maintain
The cause of the afflicted,
And
justice for the poor.
13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
