Psalms 140:5-10

⁵(140:6) The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the side of my track; traps have they set for me. Selah.

⁶(140:7) I have said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.

⁷(140:8) O thou Eternal Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head on the day of battle.

⁸(140:9) Grant not, O Lord, the longings of the wicked; suffer not his wicked device to succeed: lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

⁹(140:10) As for the heads of those that encompass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

¹⁰(140:11) Let burning coals be cast upon them: let them be thrown into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
