A prayer to be delivered from evil men and violent men
악인과 강포한 자에게서 건져 달라는 기도
Psalm 140:1–13: the speaker (“I”) asks, “Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men: those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips.” The speaker says, “The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me,” and, “I said to the LORD, ‘You are my God.’ Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.” The speaker asks, “As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise,” and closes, “I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy. Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.” The Korean Revised Version sets the plea of 140:6 inside what the speaker said to the LORD (내가 여호와께 말하기를 … 귀를 기울이소서 하였나이다), where WEB closes its quotation after “You are my God.” WEB opens 140:1 with the title “For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 140:1.

1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
2those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.
4LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
5The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
6I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
7LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.
9As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
11An evil speaker won’t be established on the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
13Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
