Psalm 140:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ The proud have hidden a snare for me, and ropes.^[a]
They have spread out a net along my route. Interlude
They have set traps for me.

⁶ I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
Hear, O Lord, the sound of my cry for mercy.
⁷ O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation,
you cover my head on the day for weapons.
