5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side; they have set gins for me. Selah
6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O GODthe Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
