For the music director; a psalm of David.
140:1 O Lord, rescue me from wicked men!
Protect me from violent men,
140:2 who plan ways to harm me.
All day long they stir up conflict.
140:3 Their tongues wound like a serpent;
a viper’s
140:4 O Lord, shelter me from the power
Protect me from violent men,
who plan to knock me over.
140:5 Proud men hide a snare for me;
evil men
they set traps for me. (Selah)
