Truly thou dost set them in slippery places; thou dost make them fall to ruin.
Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them!
But the wicked perish; the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures, they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord is the stay of his hand.
But thou, O God, wilt cast them down into the lowest pit; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in thee.
that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction for ever,
but thou, O Lord, art on high for ever.
He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.
Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the darkness, into which they shall be driven and fall; for I will bring evil upon them in the year of their punishment, says the Lord.
Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.
They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
