Psalms 140:6

FaithPrayerIdentity and self-worth

4 Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.

5 The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah

I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.

8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah
