5Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me;
         It is oil upon the head;
         Do not let my head refuse it,
         For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.

6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock,
         And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.

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

8For my eyes are toward You, O GOD, the Lord;
         In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.

9Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
         And from the snares of those who do iniquity.

10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
         While I pass by safely.
