Psalms 140:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 140
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. Selah 6I said to the Lord, 'You are my God; Listen, Lord, to the sound of my pleadings.King James Version
Chapter 140
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. 4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. 6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.Christian Standard Bible

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. Selah 6I say to the LORD, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O LORD!New International Version
