Psalms 140:5
Berean Standard Bible
The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah
Context
3They sharpen their tongues like snakes;
the venom of vipers is on their lips.*
Selah 4Guard me, O LORD,
from the hands of the wicked.
Keep me safe from men of violence
who scheme to make me stumble. 5The proud hide a snare for me;
the cords of their net are spread along the path,
and lures are set out for me.
Selah 6I say to the LORD, “You are my God.”
Hear, O LORD, my cry for help. 7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You shield my head in the day of battle.
