Psalm 140:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Arrogant people have laid a trap for me with ropes.
    They’ve spread out a net alongside the road.
    They’ve set snares for me. Selah

⁶ I tell the Lord, “You are my God!
    Listen to my request for mercy, Lord!”
⁷ My Lord God, my strong saving help—
    you’ve protected my head on the day of battle.
