Psalm 140:5-7

World English Bible

⁵ The proud have hidden a snare for me,
    they have spread the cords of a net by the path.
    They have set traps for me. Selah.
⁶ I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.”
    Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
⁷ Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
    you have covered my head in the day of battle.
