Psalms 140:11 Context
9As for the head of those that compasse me about: let the mischiefe of their owne lips couer them. 10Let burning coales fall vpon them, let them be cast into the fire: into deepe pits, that they rise not vp againe. 11Let not an euill speaker bee established in the earth: euill shall hunt the violent man to ouerthrow him. 12I know that the Lord will maintaine the cause of the afflicted: and the right of the poore. 13Surely the righteous shall giue thankes vnto thy Name: the vpright shall dwell in thy presence.
