Psalms 140:5-8

⁵Proud people have hidden a trap for me—they have strung out a net on the path, they have set snares to catch me. Selah.

⁶I told the Lord, “You are my God! Lord, please listen to my cries for help!”

⁷Lord God, my powerful Savior, you covered my head like a helmet on the day of battle.

⁸God, don't allow the wicked to get what they want—don't let them be successful in what they plan so they don't become proud. Selah.
