Psalms 140:3 BBE

¹  To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:

²  For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.

³  Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah.)

⁴  O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.

⁵  The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.)
