== Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 140 ==

<named id="1"/>1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

<named id="2"/>2 Deliver me, O HaShem, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;

<named id="3"/>3 Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.

<named id="4"/>4 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah

<named id="5"/>5 Keep me, O HaShem, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.

<named id="6"/>6 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

<named id="7"/>7 I have said unto HaShem: 'Thou art my G-d'; give ear, O HaShem, unto the voice of my supplications.

<named id="8"/>8 O GOD the L-rd, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,

<named id="9"/>9 Grant not, O HaShem, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah

<named id="10"/>10 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

<named id="11"/>11 Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

<named id="12"/>12 A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.

<named id="13"/>13 I know that HaShem will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.

<named id="14"/>14 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
