Psalms 140:12 — Meaning and Application

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}. {an...: or, an evil speaker (Heb. a man of tongue), a wicked man of violence, be established in the earth: let him be hunted to his overthrow}

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, {and} the right of the poor.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
