The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law.
A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.
For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.
Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for my life. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Let the insolent be put to shame, because they have wronged me with falsehood; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made.
Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
May a cry be heard from their houses, when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them! For they have dug a pit to take me and laid snares for my feet.
