Psalms 140:1-5

¹Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me

²from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:

³who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent's, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. Selah

⁴Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.

⁵The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. Selah
