5 Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head; let not my head refuse it: for even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth.
8 For mine eyes are unto thee, O GODthe Lord: in thee do I put my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
