Psalm 140:5

Prayer For Rescue

⁴ Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men
Who have purposed to trip up my feet.
⁵ The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set snares for me. Selah.
⁶ I said to the Lord, “You are my God;
Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.
