Psalms 140:5
“The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.”
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
