Psalms 140:9
“As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.”
O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
