Psalms 141:10

8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.

9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
