Psalm 140:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ I say to the Lord, ‘You are my God;
    give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.’
⁷ O Lord, my Lord, my strong deliverer,
    you have covered my head in the day of battle.
⁸ Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
    do not further their evil plot.^[a]Selah
