New Living Translation

Psalms 140:1-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. O  lord, rescue me from evil people.Protect me from those who are violent,

2. those who plot evil in their heartsand stir up trouble all day long.

3. Their tongues sting like a snake;the venom of a viper drips from their lips.Interlude

4. O  lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked.Protect me from those who are violent,for they are plotting against me.

5. The proud have set a trap to catch me;they have stretched out a net;they have placed traps all along the way.Interlude
