Chapter 140
Psal Rotherha 140:1  Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:
Psal Rotherha 140:2  Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:
Psal Rotherha 140:3  They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent,—The poison of the asp, is under their lips. [Selah.]
Psal Rotherha 140:4  Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me,—who have devised, to thrust at my steps:
Psal Rotherha 140:5  The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. [Selah.]
Psal Rotherha 140:6  I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.
Psal Rotherha 140:7  O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.

Psal Rotherha 140:9  As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:
Psal Rotherha 140:10  May there be dropped on them live coals,—Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.
Psal Rotherha 140:11  As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth,—As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
Psal Rotherha 140:12  I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
Psal Rotherha 140:13  Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
