Psalms 140:3

Ord og tale

1 Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,

2 who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.

They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah

4 Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.

5 The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah
