52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Psalms 140

1

Psalm 140 For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1

Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence,

2

who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.

3

They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's; the poison of vipers is on their lips.

4

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet.

5

Proud men have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.

6

O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God." Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy.

7

O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, who shields my head in the day of battle--

8

do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD; do not let their plans succeed, or they will become proud.

9

Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.

10

Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.

11

Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence.

12

I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.

13

Surely the righteous will praise your name and the upright will live before you.

Psalms 141

1

Psalm 141 A psalm of David.

1

O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you.

2

May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

3

Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.

4

Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.

5

Let a righteous man strike me--it is a kindness; let him rebuke me--it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;

6

their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.

7

[They will say,] "As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave. "

8

But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge--do not give me over to death.

9

Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers.

10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

Psalms 142

1

Psalm 142 A of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.

1

I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.

2

I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble.

3

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare for me.

4

Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.

5

I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

6

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

7

Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
