Psalms 140:5-11
The proud have set a trap to catch me; they have stretched out a net; they have placed traps all along the way. InterludeI said to the Lord,“ You are my God!” Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy!O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle.Lord, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. InterludeLet my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can’t escape.Don’t let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.
