Psalm 140:3-5

International Standard Version

³They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
the venom of vipers is on their lips.
Interlude

⁴Protect me, Lord, from the control of evil people,
    from violent men who have planned to trip me.
⁵The arrogant have laid a trap for me;
    they have spread a net with ropes,
        lining it with snares along the way.
