Psalm 140

For the worship leader. A song of David.

Save me, O Eternal One, from the evil men who seek my life.
    Shield me from this band of violent men.
Their hearts devise evil! They conspire against me;
    they are constantly causing a storm of war.
These snakes have sharpened their tongues;
    viper venom hides beneath their lips.[a]
