Psalms 140:5 Cross References - MKJV

⁵ The proud have hidden cords and a trap for me; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set snares for me. Selah.

⁹ The trap shall take him by the heel, and the noose shall hold sway over him.

⁴ Through the pride of his face the wicked will not seek Him; There is no God in all his schemes. ⁵ His ways are always perverted; Your judgments are high, out of his sight. As for all his enemies, he puffs at them. ⁶ He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation, never in evil! ⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his tongue are mischief and vanity. ⁸ He sits in the hiding-places of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the poor. ⁹ He lies in wait secretly, like a lion in his den. He lies in wait to catch the poor; he catches the poor when he draws him into his net. ¹⁰ He crouches and bows, and the poor have fallen by his might. ¹¹ He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will not see forever! ¹² Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up Your hand; forget not the humble.

⁴ Bring me out of the net that they hid for me, for You are my strength.

⁷ For without cause they have spread their net for me in a pit-net; without cause they have dug for my soul.
