The wicked have set a trap for me,
but I have not wandered from Your precepts.

The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;
they spread a net along the path
and set snares for me.Selah

Protect me from the trap they have set for me,
and from the snares of evildoers.

Although my spirit is weak within me,
You know my way.

Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me.

You lured us into a trap;
You placed burdens on our backs.

Let their table set before them be a snare,
and let it be a trap for their allies.

However, you will die like men
and fall like any other ruler.”

Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.

So He raised His hand against them with an oath
that He would make them fall in the desert

He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.

You pushed me hard to make me fall,
but the Lord helped me.

Let hot coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
into the abyss, never again to rise.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by safely.

The Lord helps all who fall;
He raises up all who are oppressed.
