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.
19:142:004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld,
but there was no man
that
would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared
for my
soul.
19:142:005 I cried unto thee, O lord: I
said, Thou art my refuge and my
portion
in the land of the living.
19:142:006 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very
low: deliver me from
my
persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
