Psalm 140:7-9

New International Version

⁷ Sovereign Lord,^(A) my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head in the day of battle.
⁸ Do not grant the wicked^(B) their desires, Lord;
    do not let their plans succeed.

⁹ Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
    may the mischief of their lips engulf them.^(C)
