| 140:1 | Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; |
| 140:2 | Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. |
| 140:3 | They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. |
| 140:4 | Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. |
| 140:5 | 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. |
| 140:6 | I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. |
| 140:7 | O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. |
| 140:8 | Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. |
| 140:9 | As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. |
| 140:10 | Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. |
| 140:11 | Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. |
| 140:12 | I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. |
| 140:12 | 我知道耶和華必為困苦人伸冤、必為窮乏人辨屈。 |
| 140:12 | 我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤，必为穷乏人辨屈。 |
| 1ki:8:49 | Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, |
| 1ki:8:59 | And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require: |
| psm:9:4 | For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. |
| psm:82:3 | Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. |

| 140:13 | Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. |
