Every pit-digger who works to trap and harm others will be trapped by his own treachery.
There they lie in the dirt, these evil ones, thrown down to the ground, never to arise again!
They lie awake at night to hatch their evil plots, always planning their schemes of darkness, and never once do they consider the evil of their ways.
Yahweh is famous for his justice. While the wicked are digging a pit for others, they are actually setting the terms for their own judgment. They will fall into their own pit. Consider the truth of this and pause in his presence
Surprise them with your ambush, Lord, and catch them in the very trap they set for me. Let them be the ones to fail and fall into destruction!
My heart, O God, is quiet and confident. Now I can sing with passion your wonderful praises!
Let them all stumble into their own traps while I escape without a scratch!
In their ungodly disrespect for God they bring destruction on their own lives.
Go ahead, set a trap for others— and then watch as it snaps back on you! Start a landslide and you’ll be the one who gets crushed.
