5. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. Selah.
6. I said to the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7. O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8. Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
