Psalms 140:5 Cross References - EJ2000

⁵ The proud have hid a snare for me and cords; they have spread a net; on the path they have set snares for me. Selah.

⁸ ¶ Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me with the shadow of thy wings, ⁹ from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. ¹⁰ They are closed in with their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly. ¹¹ They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes upon throwing us down to the earth ¹² like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. ¹³ Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, with thy sword;

⁴ Thou shalt pull me out of the net that they have laid in secret for me; for thou art my strength.
