Psalms 139

1Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
3Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
4They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
5Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
6The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
7I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
8Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
9O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
10The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
11Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
12A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
13I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.
14So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.
