Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
    protect me from the violent,
    who devise ways to trip my feet.
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me;
    they have spread out the cords of their net
    and have set traps for me along my path.
I say to the LORD, “You are my God.”

    Hear, LORD, my cry for mercy.
Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant the wicked their desires, LORD;
    do not let their plans succeed.

(Psalm 140:4-8, NIV)
