Psalm 140:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³They make their tongue sharp as a snake’s,
and under their lips is the venom of vipers.Selah

⁴Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
    protect me from the violent
    who have planned my downfall.
⁵The arrogant have hidden a trap for me,
    and with cords they have spread a net,^[a]
    along the road they have set snares for me.Selah
