Psalm 140
2who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.
3They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.
4Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet.
5The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.
6I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, LORD, my cry for mercy.
7Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.
