The proud have dug pits for me— that is not in accord with Your Torah!
A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and on his lips is a scorching fire.
For without cause they hid their net for me, and without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
Will good be repaid for evil? For they dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before You to speak good on their behalf, to turn Your wrath from them.
May the proud be put to shame for wronging me with a lie, but I will meditate on Your precepts.
Look! The one pregnant with trouble conceives mischief and brings forth deceit.
Continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your justice to the upright in heart.
Let a cry be heard from their houses when suddenly You bring a troop on them. For they dug a pit to capture me, and hid snares for my feet.
