Psalms 140:2-6

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

⁶I have said to the Lord, “My God are you; give ear, Lord, to my loud plea.
