Favorite verses from Psalms

Psalm 140

Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers;
    protect me from the violent,

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

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

Psalm 141:9-10 

Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers,
from the snares they have laid for me.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by in safety.

Psalm 144:4-5 

They are like a breath;
    their days are like a fleeting shadow.
Part your heavens, Lord, and come down;
    touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

Psalm 144:7-8 

Reach down your hand from on high;
    deliver me and rescue me
from the mighty waters,
    from the hands of foreigners

whose mouths are full of lies,
    whose right hands are deceitful.
