Psalms 140:5

⁷For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

³When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

²²Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.

⁶They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.

³Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt. ⁴Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

²⁰Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.

²⁰They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. ²¹They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. ²²Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

⁸⁵The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.

¹¹Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

⁴Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
