Psalms 140:5-10

⁵The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the way side; They have set grins for me. Selah.

⁶I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.

⁷O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

⁸Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: Further not his wicked device; Lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

⁹As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

¹⁰Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire; Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
