Part 84

19:139:023 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

19:139:024 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

19:140:001 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

19:140:002 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

19:140:003 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

19:140:004 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

19:140:005 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

19:140:006 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

19:140:007 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

19:140:008 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

19:140:009 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

19:140:010 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

19:140:011 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

19:140:012 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

19:140:013 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

19:141:001 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

19:141:002 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

19:141:003 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

19:141:004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

19:141:005 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

19:141:006 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

19:141:007 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

19:141:008 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

19:141:009 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

19:141:010 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

19:142:001 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

19:142:002 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

19:142:003 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
