4. Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
5. The proud hid a snare for me--and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Selah.
6. I have said to Jehovah, `My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
7. O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
8. Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah.
