    It shall be a kindness.
    And let him rebuke me;
    It shall be as excellent oil;
    Let my head not refuse it.
    For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.

    in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!c

    In You I take refuge;
    [b]Do not leave my soul destitute.
  • Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me
    and from the snares of evildoers!
  • Keep me from the snares they have laid for me,
    And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
  • Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
    while I pass by safely.
  • Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
    While I escape safely.
