Psalm 140:2-4
Amplified Bible

2 
They devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually [gather together and] stir up wars.
3 
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent’s;
Poison of a viper is under their lips.(A) Selah.

4 
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Protect me from violent men
Who intend to trip up my steps.
