"The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will. "
— Psalms 140:5, Catholic Public Domain 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 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.”
Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.
For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
