Rescue Me from Evil – Psalm 140

Verse 1:
Lord, rescue me from evil
Protect me from the hands of the wicked
Who plot evil in their hearts
And stir up conflict all day long

Chorus:
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked
Protect me from the violence they plan
Keep me safe, Lord, from their schemes
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked

Verse 2:
They sharpen their tongues like swords
And aim their words like deadly arrows
They hide traps and snares along my path
And say, “Who can see us?”

Chorus:
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked
Protect me from the violence they plan
Keep me safe, Lord, from their schemes
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked

Verse 3:
But you, Lord, will strike them down
And bring them to their knees
You will defend the cause of the poor
And uphold the rights of the needy

Chorus:
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked
Protect me from the violence they plan
Keep me safe, Lord, from their schemes
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked

Bridge:
I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor
And upholds the cause of the needy
Surely the righteous will praise your name
And the upright will live in your presence

Chorus:
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked
Protect me from the violence they plan
Keep me safe, Lord, from their schemes
Rescue me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked

Outro:
Lord, rescue me from evil
Protect me from the hands of the wicked
And keep me safe in your loving arms.
