The arrogant dig pits to trap me, which violates your law.

They have prepared a net to trap me; I am discouraged. They have dug a pit for me. They will fall into it! (Selah)

Should good be paid back with evil? Yet they are virtually digging a pit to kill me. Just remember how I stood before you pleading on their behalf to keep you from venting your anger on them.

Let cries of terror be heard in their houses when you send bands of raiders unexpectedly to plunder them. For they have virtually dug a pit to capture me and have hidden traps for me to step into.
