CHAP. CXL.
1 Dauid prayeth to be deliuered from Saul and Doeg. 8 He prayeth against them. 12 Hee comforteth himselfe by confidence in God.
1[To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid.] Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the violent man.1
2Which imagine mischiefes in their heart: continually are they gathered together for warre.
3They haue sharpned their tongues like a serpent: adders poison is vnder their lips. Selah.3
6I said vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare the voyce of my supplications, O Lord.
7O God the Lord, the strength of my saluation: thou hast couered my head in the day of battell.
8Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked deuice, lest they exalt themselues. Selah.8
9As for the head of those that compasse me about: let the mischiefe of their owne lips couer them.
11Let not an euill speaker bee established in the earth: euill shall hunt the violent man to ouerthrow him.11
12I know that the Lord will maintaine the cause of the afflicted: and the right of the poore.
13Surely the righteous shall giue thankes vnto thy Name: the vpright shall dwell in thy presence.
