Psalms 140:4-9
4
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from men of violence
who plan to trip my feet.
5
Proud men have hidden a snare for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net
and have set traps for me along my path. Selah
6
O Lord, I say to you, “You are my God.”
Hear, O Lord, my cry for mercy.
7
O Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,
who shields my head in the day of battle—
8
do not grant the wicked their desires, O Lord;
do not let their plans succeed,
or they will become proud. Selah
9
Let the heads of those who surround me
be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.
