Study the Bible in Basic English : Psalm for the day #140

Psalms 140 1. <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man: 2. For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war. 3. Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah.) 4. O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall. 5. The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.) ; AB Lausanne church
