140:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

A Psalm
<04210>

of David

Deliver
<02502> (8761)

me, O LORD
<03068>_,

from the evil
<07451>

man
<0120>_:

preserve
<05341> (8799)

me from the violent
<02555>

man
<0376>_;

{violent...: Heb. man of violences}

140:2

Which imagine
<02803> (8804)

mischiefs
<07451>

in [their] heart
<03820>_;

continually
<03117>

are they gathered together
<01481> (8799)

[for] war
<04421>_.

140:3

They have sharpened
<08150> (8804)

their tongues
<03956>

like a serpent
<05175>_;

adders
<05919>_'

poison
<02534>

[is] under their lips
<08193>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

140:4

Keep
<08104> (8798)

me, O LORD
<03068>_,

from the hands
<03027>

of the wicked
<07563>_;

preserve
<05341> (8799)

me from the violent
<02555>

man
<0376>_;

who have purposed
<02803> (8804)

to overthrow
<01760> (8800)

my goings
<06471>_.

140:5

The proud
<01343>

have hid
<02934> (8804)

a snare
<06341>

for me, and cords
<02256>_;

they have spread
<06566> (8804)

a net
<07568>

by the wayside
<03027> <04570>_;

they have set
<07896> (8804)

gins
<04170>

for me. Selah
<05542>_.
