Psalms 141:7-10

7 Like a rock pulverized by a maul, let their bones be scattered at the gates of hell.
8 But God, dear Lord, I only have eyes for you. Since I've run for dear life to you, take good care of me.
9 Protect me from their evil scheming, from all their demonic subterfuge.
10 Let the wicked fall flat on their faces, while I walk off without a scratch. A David prayer - when he was in the cave.
