4Guard me, O LORD,
from the hands of the wicked.
Keep me safe from men of violence
who scheme to make me stumble.
5The proud hide a snare for me;
the cords of their net are spread along the path,
and lures are set out for me.
6I say to the LORD, “You are my God.”
Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You shield my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;
do not promote their evil plans,
lest they be exalted.
9May the heads of those who surround me
be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
— Psalm 140:4-9
