Psalms 139:6-14

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.

¹²A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.

¹³I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.

¹⁴But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
