New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm 140
6 I said to the LORD, “You are my God!” Listen, O LORD, to my cries for mercy!
7 O Sovereign LORD, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle.
8 LORD, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. Interlude
9 Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.
10 Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can’t escape.
11 Don’t let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.
12 But I know the LORD will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.
13 Surely righteous people are praising your name; the godly will live in your presence.
Psalm 141
1 O LORD, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help!
2 Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.
3 Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
