n°19 / Psalms 140 :

1Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man : preserve me from the violent man ;
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart ; continually are they gathered together for war.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent ; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked ; preserve me from the violent man ; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords ; they have spread a net by the wayside ; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God : hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked : further not his wicked device ; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Let burning coals fall upon them : let them be cast into the fire ; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth : evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
