Psalm 140:1-5 NIRV

Psalm 140:1-5

Psalm 140

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Lord, save me from sinful people.

Keep me safe from those who want to hurt me.

They make evil plans in their hearts.

They are always starting fights.

Their tongues are as deadly as the tongue of a serpent.

The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.

Lord, keep me safe from the hands of sinful people.

Protect me from those who want to hurt me.

They plan ways to trip me up and make me fall.

Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me.

They have spread out their nets.

They have set traps for me along my path.
