6 The arrogant have set a trap for me;they have spread out ropes for a net,laid snares for me by the wayside.Selah
7 I say to the Lord: You are my God;listen, Lord, to the words of my pleas.
8 Lord, my master, my strong deliverer,you cover my head on the day of armed conflict.
9 Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked one;do not let his plot succeed.Selah
10 Those who surround me raise their heads;may the mischief they threaten overwhelm them.
11 Drop burning coals upon them;cast them into the watery pit never more to rise.
12 Slanderers will not survive on earth;evil will hunt down the man of violence to overthrow him.
