⁷ For without cause have they hid for me their net `in' a pit; Without cause have they digged `a pit' for my soul.

⁸ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.

¹⁵ The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

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

³ O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴ If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

⁵ Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

³ Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

⁴ That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

⁴ They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

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

²⁵ But `this cometh to pass', that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
