Some proud people stabbed me\par with their lies.\par And that is against your teachings.\par
People who think they are better than me\par lied about me.\par I hope those people are ashamed.\par Lord, I study your laws.\par
I did nothing wrong,\par but those people tried to trap me.\par For no reason at all,\par they tried to trap me.\par
Lord, don’t let proud people trap me.\par Don’t let me be caught by evil people.\par
They try to trap and hurt other people.\par But they will be hurt in their own traps.\par
A worthless person plans bad things to do. His advice destroys like fire.
I have been good to the people of Judah.\par But now they are paying me back with evil.\par They are trying to trap me and kill me.\par
Let there be crying in their houses.\par Make them cry when you suddenly\par bring an enemy against them.\par Let all this happen because my enemies\par tried to trap me.\par They hid traps for me to step in.\par
