The arroganthave dugpitsfor me, [Men] whoare not in accord with Your law.
May the arrogantbe ashamed,for they subvertme with a lie;[But] I shall meditateon Your precepts.
For withoutcausethey hidtheir netfor me; Withoutcausethey duga pitfor my soul.
Let not the footof pridecomeupon me, And let not the handof the wickeddriveme away.
He has duga pitand hollowedit out, And has falleninto the holewhich he made.
A worthlessmandigsup evil,Whilehis wordsare like scorchingfire.
Should goodbe repaidwith evil?For they have duga pitfor me. Rememberhow I stoodbeforeYou To speakgoodon their behalf,So as to turnawayYour wrathfrom them.
May an outcrybe heardfrom their houses,WhenYou suddenlybringraidersupon them; For they have duga pitto captureme And hiddensnaresfor my feet.
