The proud have dug pits for me, which is not after your law.
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.
An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them.
Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
