Psalms 140:4-9 Protect me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from violent men, who have planned to ⌊make me stumble⌋.*

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Protect me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from violent men, who have planned to _⌊make me stumble_⌋.* ⁵ The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords. They have spread out a net along the _⌊side_⌋* of the path. They have set snares for me. Selah ⁶ I say to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen, O Yahweh, to the voice of my supplications. ⁷ O Yahweh, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. ⁸ Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the wicked. Do not allow them to attain their* plan, lest they be exalted. Selah ⁹ With respect to the head of those who surround me, may the harm of their lips cover them.
