Psalms 78-150 - Geneva Bible

5 The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread a net with cords in my
pathway, and set gins for me. Selah.
6
Therefore I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my
prayers.
7
O Lord God the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered mine head in the
day of battle.
8
Let not the wicked have his desire, O Lord: perform not his wicked thought, lest
they be proud. Selah.
9
As for the chief of them, that compass me about, let the mischief of their own
lips come upon them.
10
Let coals fall upon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deep pits,
that they rise not.
11
For the backbiter shall not be established upon the earth: evil shall hunt the
cruel man to destruction.
12
I know that the Lord will avenge the afflicted, and judge the poor.
13
Surely the righteous shall praise thy Name, and the just shall dwell in thy
presence.
Psalm 141
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I call upon thee: haste thee unto me: hear my voice,
when I cry unto thee.
2
Let my prayer be directed in thy sight as incense, and the lifting up of mine
hands as an evening sacrifice.
3
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keep the door of my lips.
4
Incline not mine heart to evil, that I should commit wicked works with men that
work iniquity: and let me not eat of their delicates.
5
Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefit: and let him reprove me, and it
shall be a precious oil, that shall not break mine head: for within a while I shall
even pray in their miseries.
6
When their judges shall be cast down in stony places, they shall hear my
words, for they are sweet.
