The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
Let them sacrifice thank offerings. Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.
I will sing praise to the Lord. He has been so good to me.
Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed king. He answers him from his sacred home in heaven. The power of God’s right hand gives victory to the king.
So let them be destroyed without warning. Let the trap they set for me catch them. Let them fall into the pit and be destroyed.
Then I will be full of joy because of what the Lord has done. I will be glad because he has saved me.
But they will be killed by their own swords. Their own bows will be broken.
My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet. I felt helpless. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves.
He will pay them back for their sins. He will destroy them for their evil acts. The Lord our God will destroy them.
Anyone who plants evil gathers a harvest of trouble. Their power to treat others badly will be destroyed.
Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.
