Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked - against me and my race (Psalms 27:12).
Further not his wicked device. The Hebrew implies deliberate purpose, malice prepense (zemamo) (Psalms 31:13, end; 37:12).
(Lest) they exalt themselves - literally, 'they will exalt themselves;' namely, otherwise. Compare Psalms 66:7, end; Deuteronomy 32:27.
