Psalm 140:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked.
Protect me from the violent man, who plans to trip my feet.
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.
