Psalms Chapter 85 (AMP)

Compare with Version:

¹ The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah.

² I said to the LORD, "You are my God; Listen to the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

³ "O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

⁴ "Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; Do not further their evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.

⁵ "Those who surround me raise their heads; May the mischief of their own lips come upon them.

⁶ "Let burning coals fall upon them; Let them be thrown into the fire, Into deep [water] pits from which they cannot rise.

⁷ "Do not let a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil quickly hunt the violent man [to overthrow him and stop his evil acts]."

⁸ I know [with confidence] that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And [will secure] justice for the poor.

⁹ Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.

¹⁰ A Psalm of David. LORD, I call upon You; hurry to me. Listen to my voice when I call to You.

¹¹ Let my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

¹² Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly].

¹³ Do not incline my heart to [consent to or tolerate] any evil thing, Or to practice deeds of wickedness With men who plan and do evil; And let me not eat of their delicacies (be tempted by their gain).
