Psalms 141:7-10

7As when one 1plows and breaks open the earth, Our 2bones have been scattered at the 3mouth of 4Sheol.

8For my 5eyes are toward You, 6God, the Lord; In You I 7take refuge; 8do not 9leave me defenseless.9Keep me from the 10 11jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the 12snares of those who do wrong.10May the wicked 13fall into their own nets, While I pass by 14 15safely.
