Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah.
Lord, give me wisdom to recognize the traps and snares for many are deceptively packaged in avowals of friendship and mutual concern. Guard me, Lord, and show me the way that gives the praise and glory and honor to You.
