Psalms 140:1-5
11Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men; Preserve me from 2violent men2Who 3devise evil things in their hearts; They 4continually stir up wars.3They 5sharpen their tongues as a serpent; 6Poison of a viper is under their lips. 7Selah.
48Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; 9Preserve me from violent men Who have 10purposed to 1112trip up my feet.5The proud have 13hidden a trap for me, and cords; They have spread a 14net by the 15wayside; They have set 16snares for me. Selah.
