Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
For without cause they secretly hide the pit with their net for me;
without cause they dug it for my life.
Let unforeseen ruin[a] come on him,
and his net that he hid, let it catch him.
Let him fall into it in ruin.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 35:8 Literally “ruin he does not know”

may their path be dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

Since they hid their net(A) for me without cause(B)
    and without cause dug a pit(C) for me,
may ruin overtake them by surprise—(D)
    may the net they hid entangle them,
    may they fall into the pit,(E) to their ruin.
