Psalm 139:6–8

5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me;

they have spread out the cords of their net

and have set traps for me along my path.

6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”

Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.

7 Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,

you shield my head in the day of battle.

5 The arrogant have hidden a trap for me,

and with cords they have spread a net;

beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah

6 I say to the Lord, You are my God;

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

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

you have covered my head in the day of battle.

5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;

They have spread a net by the wayside;

They have set gins for me. Selah.

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.

5 The proud have set a trap to catch me;

they have stretched out a net;

they have placed traps all along the way.
