5. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me,and with cords they have spread a net;beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah
6. I say to the Lord, You are my God;give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!
7. O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation,you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8. Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Selah
9. As for the head of those who surround me,let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
