Psalms 140:5-8

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

⁶I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.

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

⁸Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. Selah
