Psalm 140:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ So I say to the Lord, “You are my God;
    listen to my voice
        as I plead for mercy, Lord.
⁷ Lord, my Lord, my strong deliverer,
    you have protected my head in the time^[a] of battle.
⁸ Never grant, Lord, the desires of the wicked;
    never condone their plans
        so they cannot exalt themselves.
