Imprecatory (Psalm 140) Lyrics

Deliver me from evil men

Preserve me from their violence

Deliver me from evil men

Preserve me from their violence

Keep me, O Lord

Keep me safe from their plans for war

They hide a net

They set a trap

They hide their snares and cords

O Lord, You are my God

Hear my voice

O Lord, You are my strength

Hear my prayer

Let the harmful things they say

Come to them

Let evil hunt and overthrow

The violent men

Do not grant, O Lord

The desires of the wicked

Let them have what they deserve

For their tongues like serpents

O Lord, You are my God

Hear my voice

O Lord, You are my strength

Hear my prayer

The righteous give You thanks

And praise Your name

The upright You bring near

Justice You maintain

Uphold the cause, O Lord

Of the afflicted and the poor

Uphold the cause, O Lord

Of the afflicted and the poor

Uphold the cause, O Lord

Of the afflicted and the poor

Uphold the cause, O Lord

Of the afflicted and the poor
