Psalm 140:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
    Lord, hear my cry for mercy.
⁷ Lord and King, you save me because you are strong.
    You are like a shield that keeps me safe in the day of battle.
⁸ Lord, don’t give sinners what they want.
    Don’t let their plans succeed.
