Chapter 139

1

 Unto the end, a psalm for David. 

2

 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man. 

3

 Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles. 

4

 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips. 

5

 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps. 

6

 the proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside. 

7

 I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication. 

8

 O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle. 

9

 Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph. 

10

 The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them. 

11

 Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand. 

12

 A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction. 

13

 I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor. 

14

 But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
