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.
8 Let him be ruined unawares, And caught in his own [hidden] net; Let him fall in that pit and snare Which his own hands have [digged and] set.
8 Let him be ruin'd unawares, And caught in his own [hidden] net; Let him fall in that pit and snare Which his own hands have [dig'd and] set.
