Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?

For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, - Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:

Wait thou for Yahweh, - Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
