Psalms 140:5-8

⁵It is as though proud people have set a trap for me; it is as though they have spread their nets to catch me; it is as though they have put those things along the road to catch/seize me.

⁶I say to you, “Yahweh, you are my God;” so listen to me while I cry out to you to help me.

⁷Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one who defends me strongly; you have protected me during battles MET as though you had put a helmet on my head.

⁸Yahweh, do allow wicked people to do the things that they desire, and do not allow them to do the evil things that they plan to do.
