5. The proud have hid a snare for me,and with cords they have spread a net;they have set traps for me. Selah
6. I said to the Lord, “You are my God;hear the voice of my supplications, OLord.”
7. O God 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 allow his evil plot,lest he be raised up. Selah
9. As for the head of those who encompassme,let the mischief of their own lips overwhelm them;
