Psalm 140

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the
violent man;

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

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison
is under their lips. Selah.

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from
the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a
net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my
supplications, O LORD.

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered
my head in the day of battle.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his
wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief
of their own lips cover them.

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

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

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and the right of the poor.

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