American Standard Version

Psalm 140:9-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

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, whence they shall not rise.

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

12. I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

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