Psalms 141:8

FaithProtection and safetyPrayerGod's presence

6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

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.

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