Psalm 140:6-8

Common English Bible

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.
⁸ Lord, don’t give the wicked what they want!
    Don’t allow their plans to succeed,
    or they’ll exalt themselves even more!^[a] Selah
