Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 139:6-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.

7. I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.

8. Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.

9. O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.

10. The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.

11. Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
