Psalm 140:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation,
you cover my head on the day for weapons.
⁸ Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked.
Do not let their scheme succeed when they rise up.^[a] Interlude

⁹ May the trouble caused by their lips
    fall on the heads of those who surround me.
