Let ruin come on him unexpectedly,
and let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his ruin.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

The enemy has come to eternal ruin;
You have uprooted the cities,
and the very memory of them has perished.

Indeed, You put them in slippery places;
You make them fall into ruin.

Make Your way to the everlasting ruins,
to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.

A psalm of Asaph.God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance,
desecrated Your holy temple,
and turned Jerusalem into ruins.

You have broken down all his walls;
You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.

I am like a desert owl,
like an owl among the ruins.
