Psalms 140:5-8

⁵The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. Selah

⁶I have said to the Lord, “My God are you; give ear, Lord, to my loud plea.

⁷O Lord my Lord, my saviour mighty, you did cover my head in the day of battle.

⁸Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.” Selah
