For withoutcausethey hidtheir netfor me; Withoutcausethey duga pitfor my soul.
"For he is throwninto the netby his own feet,And he stepson the webbing.
The arroganthave dugpitsfor me, [Men] whoare not in accord with Your law.
The proudhave hiddena trapfor me, and cords;They have spreada netby the wayside;They have setsnaresfor me. Selah.
Indeed,noneof those who waitfor You will be ashamed;Those who dealtreacherouslywithoutcausewill be ashamed.
My heartis steadfast,O God,my heartis steadfast;I will sing,yes, I will singpraises!
To shootfrom concealmentat the blameless;Suddenlythey shootat him, and do not fear.
Those who hateme withouta causeare morethanthe hairsof my head;Those who would destroyme are powerful,being wrongfullymy enemies;WhatI did not steal,I thenhave to restore.
The nationshave sunkdownin the pitwhich they have made;In the netwhichthey hid,their own foothas been caught.
Should goodbe repaidwith evil?For they have duga pitfor me. Rememberhow I stoodbeforeYou To speakgoodon their behalf,So as to turnawayYour wrathfrom them.
"But [they have done this] to fulfillthe wordthat is writtenin their Law,THEY HATEDME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'
