¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.

⁹ Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.

⁵ The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah

²² Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

¹¹ If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause;

¹² Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

⁶ Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁷ Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

⁹⁵ The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; `But' I will consider thy testimonies.

⁸⁵ The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.

¹⁰ With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

⁸ He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.

⁹ He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

¹⁰ He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

¹¹ He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

¹² Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.

¹³ Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require `it'?

¹⁴ Thou hast seen `it'; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth `himself' unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

¹⁵ Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

¹⁶ Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.

¹⁷ Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of David.

¹⁹ And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.

²⁰ And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

²¹ And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person `of any', but of a truth teachest the way of God:

²² Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.

²⁶ And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

⁵¹ The proud have had me greatly in derision: `Yet' have I not swerved from thy law.

²¹ Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.

⁸⁷ They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.
