10 They hate me and ·stay far away [keep their distance] from me,
    but they do not mind spitting in my face.
11 God has ·taken away my strength [L loosened my bowstring] and ·made me suffer [humiliated me],
    so they ·attack me with all their anger [L have removed all restraint before me].

    They ·lay traps for my feet [L take my feet out from under me]
    and ·prepare to attack me [L build up paths for my calamity].
