4 Let them to [utter] shame be brought▪ Who seek my life, and plot my hurt, Them foil [confound] and bring to nought.
5 Make them like chaff before the wind, [And let] God's Angel chase them all:
6 Make their way dark and slippery, God's Angel [hunt and] make them fall.
7 They hid for me a snaring net, In malice without [a just] cause; They digged a pit to take my soul, In [cruel] craft against thy Laws.
7 They hid for me a snaring net, In malice without [a just] cause; They dig'd a pit to take my soul, In [cruel] craft against thy Laws.
