Psalms 139:3-8

³Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.

⁴They have sharpened their tongue as the tongue of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Pause.

⁵Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁶The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes for snares for my feet; they set a stumbling-block for me near the path. Pause.

⁷I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.

⁸O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.
