Arrogant men have hidden a trap for me,
    and with cords they have spread a net,[a]
    by the wayside they have set snares for me.Selah

I say to the Lord, Thou art my God;
    give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Lord!
O Lord, my Lord, my strong deliverer,
    thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
