6The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
7I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
8O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
9Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
10The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
11Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
