Psalm 142:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

I called on your name, LORD, out of the depths of the pit.
