Psalm 140:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

2 They devise mischiefs in their heart; continually they gather together and stir up wars.

3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent’s; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!(A)

4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent men who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
