The nations have fallen into the pit they dug. Their feet are caught in the nets they laid.
Let them offer sacrifices to thank him. With joy they should tell what he has done.
I sing to the Lord because he has taken care of me.
Now I know the Lord helps his appointed king. He answers him from his holy heaven and saves him with his strong right hand.
So let ruin strike them suddenly. Let them be caught in their own nets; let them fall into the pit and die.
Then I will rejoice in the Lord; I will be happy when he saves me.
But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will break.
They set a trap for me. I am very worried. They dug a pit in my path, but they fell into it themselves.Selah
God will pay them back for their sins and will destroy them for their evil. The Lord our God will destroy them.
Those who plan evil will receive trouble. Their cruel anger will come to an end.
An evil man will be caught in his wicked ways; the ropes of his sins will tie him up.
