Psalms 140:5-11 The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. Selah.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. Selah. ⁶ I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer. ⁷ O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight. ⁸ O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. Selah. ⁹ As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips. ¹⁰ Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again. ¹¹ Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
