Psalms 140:8
6 I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah
9 May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
