6 The proud have hidden a trap and cords for me. They spread out a net by the path. They set snares for me. Selah
7 I said to Adonai: “You are my God!” Hear, Adonai, the sound of my supplications.
8 God my Lord, the strength of my deliverance, You shield my head in the day of battle.
9 Grant not, Adonai, the desires of the wicked. Do not let their evil plan succeed, or they will exalt themselves. Selah
10 As for the head of those surrounding me, may the mischief of their lips overwhelm them.
11 Let burning coals fall upon them. May they be cast into the fire, into deep pits, never to rise again.
12 May a slanderer not endure in the land. May calamity hunt down a violent man.
