Psalm 141:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ As the soil is shattered when the ground is plowed,
    so our bones are scattered at the mouth of the netherworld.
^8 [a]But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God;
    in you I seek refuge;
    do not take my life away.
⁹ Keep me safe from the traps they have laid for me,
    from the snares of evildoers.
