Psalm 140:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ Protect me, Lord, from the power of the wicked;
    keep me safe from violent people
    who plot my downfall.
⁵ The proud have set a trap for me;
    they have laid their snares,
    and along the path they have set traps to catch me.

⁶ I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
    Hear my cry for help, Lord!
