Keep me away from the trap they set for me and from the traps set by troublemakers.
Wicked people have set a trap for me, but I have never wandered away from your guiding principles.
Arrogant people have laid a trap for me. They have spread out a net with ropes. They have set traps for me along the road. Selah
When I begin to lose hope, you ⌞already⌟ know what I am experiencing. ⌞My enemies⌟ have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.
Look to my right and see that no one notices me. Escape is impossible for me. No one cares about me.
Those who seek my life lay traps for me. Those who are out to harm me talk about ruining me. All day long they think of ways to deceive me.
My heart is confident, O God. My heart is confident. I want to sing and make music.
They sharpen their tongues like swords. They aim bitter words like arrows
The teachings of a wise person are a fountain of life to turn ⌞one⌟ away from the grasp of death.
Make them cry out from their homes when you suddenly send troops against them, because they dug a pit to catch me and hid snares for my feet.
So they watched for an opportunity to send out some spies. The spies were to act like sincere religious people. They wanted to catch him saying the wrong thing so that they could hand him over to the governor.
