Psalm 140:13

Verse 13 of 13. The 140th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

9As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

11An evil speaker won’t be established on the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

13Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
