Psalms 140

Psalms 140

1Deliver me, O Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] , from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

2Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they gathered together [for] war.

3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison [is] under their lips. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said] .

4Keep me, O Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] , from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said] .

6I said unto the Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] , youi [are] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] : hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] .

7O GOD [THE FATHER] the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] , the strength of my salvation, youi have covered my head in the day of battle.

8Grant not, O Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] , the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said] .

9[As for] the head of those that compass (go around, encircle; encompass) me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him] .

12I know that the Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.

13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto youri name: the upright shall dwell in youri presence.
