Psalm 140:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² They think of evil ideas to hurt people.
    They only want to cause trouble!
³ Their words hurt people,
    like the tongue of a snake.
They bite with poison,
    like a dangerous snake.

⁴ Lord, keep me safe from the power of wicked people.
    Keep me safe from violent people who want to attack me.
