Psalms 140:5-11

5The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path. 6I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy. 7Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle. 8Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord; do not let their plans succeed. 9Those who surround me proudly rear their heads; may the mischief of their lips engulf them. 10May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise. 11May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent.
