Psalms 141:9

Protection and safetyTemptation

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

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

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.
