140:1 (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Rescue me from cruel and violent enemies, Lord!
140:2 They think up evil plans and always cause trouble.
140:3 Their words bite deep like the poisonous fangs of a snake.
140:4 Protect me, Lord, from cruel and brutal enemies, who want to destroy me.
140:5 Those proud people have hidden traps and nets to catch me as I walk.
140:6 You, Lord, are my God! Please listen to my prayer.
140:7 You have the power to save me, and you keep me safe in every battle.
140:8 Don't let the wicked succeed in doing what they want, or else they might never stop planning evil.
140:9 They have me surrounded, but make them the victims of their own vicious lies.
140:10 Dump flaming coals on them and throw them into pits where they can't climb out.
140:11 Chase those cruel liars away! Let trouble hunt them down.
140:12 Our Lord, I know that you defend the homeless and see that the poor are given justice.
140:13 Your people will praise you and will live with you because they do right.
