Let their way be dark and (A)slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them!
For (B)without cause (C)they hid their net for me;
    without cause they dug (D)a pit for my life.[a]
Let (E)destruction come upon him (F)when he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
    let him fall into it—to his destruction!

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 35:7 The word pit is transposed from the preceding line; Hebrew For without cause they hid the pit of their net for me; without cause they dug for my life

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.
