⁷ For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

⁸ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

¹⁵ The heathen 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 LORD 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 is mine enemy:)

⁵ Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

³ Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

⁴ That they may shoot in secret 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 mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

⁸⁵ The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

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