The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.
I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.
Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.
So let sudden ruin come upon them! Let them be caught in the trap they set for me! Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me.
Then I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be glad because he rescues me.
But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude
God will turn the sins of evil people back on them. He will destroy them for their sins. The Lord our God will destroy them.
Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end.
An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.
