Psalms 140:7-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 140

7 God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head on the day of battle. 8Do not grant, Lord, the desires of the wicked; Do not bring about his evil planning, so that they are not exalted. Selah 9'As for the head of those who surround me, May the harm of their lips cover them. 10May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into bottomless pits from which they cannot rise. 11May a slanderer not endure on the earth; May evil hunt a violent person violently.' 12I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor.
King James Version

Chapter 140

7O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 140

7 Lord, my Lord, my strong Savior, you shield my head on the day of battle.
8 Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not let them achieve their goals. Otherwise, they will become proud. Selah 9When those who surround me rise up, may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them. 10Let hot coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into the abyss, never again to rise.
11Do not let a slanderer stay in the land. Let evil relentlessly hunt down a violent man. 12I know that the Lord upholds the just cause of the poor, justice for the needy.
New Living Translation

Chapter 140

7O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle.
8Lord, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. Interlude
9Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me. 10Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can’t escape. 11Don’t let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.
12But I know the Lord will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.
English Standard Version
