American Standard Version
"The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. [Selah"
— Psalms 140:5, American Standard Version
“The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.”
“The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.”
“Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me.(Selah)”
“The just man shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:”
“The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.)”
“The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.”
Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips. [Selah
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. [Selah
I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. [Selah
