The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.

You will free me from the net they hid for me, for you are my place of refuge.

I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me.

Let destruction take them by surprise! Let the net they hid catch them! Let them fall into destruction!

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, “Who will see them?”

Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me. (Selah)

Even when my strength leaves me, you watch my footsteps. In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
