140:1  Save me, Lord Jehovah, from the evil man, and keep me from evil men.
140:2  For they have conceived evil in their heart and they have provoked disputes all day
140:3  Who have sharpened their tongues like a snake and the venom of an asp is under their lips.
140:4  Keep me, Lord Jehovah, from the hand of the evil, and keep me from men who are extortionists, who have schemed to overthrow my steps.
140:5  And the proud have hidden snares for me and they spread the cords of their nets upon my path and cast nets over me!
140:6  I said to Lord Jehovah, “You are my God! Give ear to the voice of my prayer!”
140:7  “Lord Jehovah, my mighty Savior! The shelter of my head in the day of war!”
140:8  “Lord Jehovah, do not grant the lust of the evil man and do not exalt his plot for my head.”
140:9  “The evil of their lips will cover them.”
140:10  “And coals will come down upon them and they will fall into fire and they will not be able to rise.”
140:11  “A talkative man will not be established in the earth and evil will hunt the evil man to destruction.”
140:12  I know that Lord Jehovah performs the judgment of the poor and the judgment of the afflicted.
140:13  But the righteous shall confess your Name and the upright will dwell in front of your face.
