⁷ For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

⁸ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he wanders into its mesh.

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

⁵ The proud have hidden a snare for me, They have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

³ Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

⁴ If I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (Yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

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

³ Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

⁴ To shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

⁴ Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn't take away.

⁸⁵ The proud have dug pits for me, Contrary to your law.

²⁵ But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
