Psalm 139:7-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.

8. Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.

9. O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.

10. The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.

11. Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.

12. A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.

13. I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.

14. So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.
