Psalms 140:8-13 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

8. Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah

9. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

11. An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the needy.

13. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
