Psalm 140:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 I say to the Lord: You are my God;(A)
listen, Lord, to the words of my pleas.
8 Lord, my master, my strong deliverer,
you cover my head on the day of armed conflict.
9 Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked one;
do not let his plot succeed.
Selah
