From Textus Receptus

Psa 140:1 <To the chiefe musition, a Psalme of Dauid.> Delyuer me O God from the euyll man: and preserue me from the outragious man. Psa 140:2 Who in heart imagine mischiefes: and set forwarde to warre euery day. Psa 140:3 They haue sharpened their tongue lyke a serpent: Adders poyson is vnder their lippes. Selah. Psa 140:4 Kepe me O God from the handes of the vngodly: preserue me from the outragious man, who haue deuised to thrust my feete [from me.] Psa 140:5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spread a net abroade with coardes in the high wayes: they haue set trappes for me. Selah. Psa 140:6 I haue sayde vnto God, thou art my Lorde: heare the voyce of my prayers O God. Psa 140:7 O Lorde God the strength of my saluation: thou hast couered my head in the day of battayle. Psa 140:8 Graunt not vnto the vngodly [his] desires O God: bryng not to passe his mischeuous imagination [lest] they shoulde be made to proude. Selah. Psa 140:9 Let the labour of his owne lippe couer him: [who is] head of them that compasse me about. Psa 140:10 Let hotte coales be burnyng vpon them: he wyll cast them downe into the fire into deepe pittes, that they may neuer rise vp agayne. Psa 140:11 A man full of tongue can not prosper vpon the earth: euyll shall hunt the outragious person to ouerthrowe him. Psa 140:12 I am sure that God wyll dispatche the cause of the afflicted: and he wyll geue iudgement for the needy. Psa 140:13 Truely the ryghteous wyll confesse it vnto thy name: they that deale vprightlye shall dwell before thy face.
