Psalm 140:9-11 Part 1 of 2

Let my enemies be destroyed

    by the very evil they have planned for me.

Let burning coals fall down on their heads.

    Let them be thrown into the fire

    or into watery pits from which they can't escape.

Don't let liars prosper here in our land.

    Cause great disasters to fall on the violent. 

     

Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.
