Psalms 140

David petitions YHWH for deliverance from evil people and the violent who plot against him, describing their deceitful words and hidden traps.[1][4] He expresses trust in YHWH as his God and strength, praying for the destruction of his enemies while affirming confidence that YHWH will maintain justice for the afflicted and that the righteous will dwell in YHWH's presence.[1][2]
