5. The proud hid a trap for me.They spread out a net beside the road;they set traps for me.Selah
6. I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”Lord, listen to my prayer for help.
7. Lord God, my mighty savior,you protect me in battle.
8. Lord, do not give the wicked what they want.Don’t let their plans succeed,or they will become proud.Selah
9. Those around me have planned trouble.Now let it come to them.
10. Let burning coals fall on them.Throw them into the fireor into pits from which they cannot escape.
11. Don’t let liars settle in the land.Let evil quickly hunt down cruel people.
12. I know the Lord will get justice for the poorand will defend the needy in court.
13. Good people will praise his name;honest people will live in his presence.
