Deliver
<02502> (8761)

<07451>

man
<0120>_:

Which imagine

in [their] heart
<03820>_;

<03117>

are they gathered together
<01481> (8799)

[for] war
<04421>_.

140:3

They have sharpened
<08150> (8804)

Keep
<08104> (8798)

The proud
<01343>

have hid

they have spread
<06566> (8804)

a net
<07568>

by the wayside
<03027> <04570>_;

they have set
<07896> (8804)

gins
<04170>

for me. Selah

140:6

I said
<0559> (8804)

unto the LORD

O LORD

O GOD
<03069>

the Lord

the strength

thou hast covered
<05526> (8804)

my head

in the day

of battle

Grant
<05414> (8799)

not, O LORD
<03068>_,

the desires
<03970>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

further
<06329> (8686)

not his wicked device
<02162>_;

[lest] they exalt
<07311> (8799)

themselves. Selah
<05542>_.

{lest...: or, let them not be exalted}

140:9

[As for] the head
<07218>

of those that compass me about
<04524>_,

let the mischief
<05999>

of their own lips
<08193>

cover
<03680> (8762)

them.

140:10

Let burning coals
<01513>

fall
<04131> (8735) (8675) <04131> (8686)

upon them: let them be cast

into the fire
<0784>_;

into deep pits

Let not an evil speaker
<0376> <03956>

be established
<03559> (8735)

in the earth
<0776>_:

evil
<07451>

shall hunt
<06679> (8799)

the violent
<02555>

man
<0376>

to overthrow
<04073>
