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.
9 In God and his salvation then My soul shall [glad and] joyful be;
10 My very flesh and bones shall say, Lord, who [or what] is like to thee? Who savest the poor and weak from them That for him are too [great and] strong; The poor and needy from the men Who him oppress by [spoil and] wrong.
