Psalm 140:1-5

¹Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men.

Protect me from men of violence,

²who devise evil in their hearts

and stir up war all day long.

³They sharpen their tongues like snakes;

the venom of vipers is on their lips.

⁴Guard me, O LORD,

from the hands of the wicked.

Keep me safe from men of violence

who scheme to make me stumble.

⁵The proud hide a snare for me;

the cords of their net are spread along the path,

and lures are set out for me.

— Psalm 140:1-5
