When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.

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

I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!

Evil men draw their swords and prepare their bows, to bring down the oppressed and needy, and to slaughter those who are godly.

Your arrows are sharp and penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies. Nations fall at your feet.

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

Certainly zeal for your house consumes me; I endure the insults of those who insult you.

He drove the nations out from before them; he assigned them their tribal allotments and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down.

May he rain down fiery coals upon them! May he throw them into the fire! From bottomless pits they will not escape.
