Psalms 139:4-8

⁴Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁵The 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.

⁶I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.

⁷O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.

⁸Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised mischief against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. Pause.
