Psalm 140:6–8

6  iI say to the Lord, You are my God;

give ear to jthe voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!

7  O Lord, my Lord, kthe strength of my salvation,

you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8  lGrant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;

do not further their2 evil plot, or mthey will be exalted! Selah
