Psalms 140:10–13 · Berean Standard Bible

10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.

11 May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.

12 I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.

13 Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
