Psalms 140:3-6

³By what they say MTY they injure people like poisonous snakes do; the words that they speak MTY can kill people as easily as cobras/vipers do.

⁴Yahweh, protect me from the power MTY of wicked people. Keep me safe from violent men who plan to destroy me SYN.

⁵It is as though proud people have set a trap for me; it is as though they have spread their nets to catch me; it is as though they have put those things along the road to catch/seize me.

⁶I say to you, “Yahweh, you are my God;” so listen to me while I cry out to you to help me.
