Psalms 140:5-8 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. Arrogant people have laid a trap for me.They have spread out a net with ropes.They have set traps for me along the road. Selah

6. I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”O Lord, open your ears to hear my plea for pity.

7. O Lord Almighty, the strong one who saves me,you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8. O Lord, do not give wicked people what they want.Do not let their evil plans succeed,⌊or⌋ they will become arrogant. Selah
