Psalms 140 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

(A psalm by David for the music leader.)A Prayer for the Lord

's Help

1Rescue me from cruel

and violent enemies, Lord!

2They think up evil plans

and always cause trouble.

3

10Dump flaming coals on them

and throw them into pits

where they can't climb out.

11Chase those cruel liars away!

Let trouble hunt them down.

12Our Lord, I know that you

defend the homeless

and see that the poor

are given justice.

13Your people will praise you

and will live with you

because they do right.
