Psalm 140:7-9

New Catholic Bible

^7 [a]I say to the Lord, “You are my God.
    Listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.”
⁸ O Lord, my God, my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head on the day of battle.
⁹ Do not grant the desires of the wicked, O Lord;
    do not permit their evil plots to succeed,
    or they will become proud. Selah
