Psalm 140:3-5

³They make their tongues sharp as a snake’s;
·their words are like snake poison [^Lthe venom of vipers is under their lips; Rom. 3:13]. ·Selah [Interlude]

⁴Lord, ·guard [keep] me from the ·power [^Lhand] of wicked people;
    protect me from ·cruel [violent] people
    who plan ·to trip me up [my downfall].
⁵The ·proud [arrogant] hid a trap for me.
    They spread out a net [^Lwith cords] beside the road;
they set ·traps [snares] for me. ·Selah [Interlude]
