¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape. Psalm 142 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

⁸ Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.

¹⁰ So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

¹⁵ He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶ His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.

¹⁵ Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

⁷ But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

⁸ So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

⁹ As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead.
