Psalms 140:5-8

⁵The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Selah.

⁶I have said to Jehovah, 'My God art Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'

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

⁸Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah.
