Psalm 140:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
    protect me from those who are violent,
    who are determined to cause my downfall.
⁶ The arrogant^[a] have set a hidden trap for me;
    they have spread out cords as a net,
    laying snares for me along the way. Selah
^7 [b]I say to the Lord, “You are my God.
    Listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.”
