¹⁶ He digs a hole and bores it deep,
    but he falls into the pit he has made.^(A)

¹⁶ The nations fall into the pit they dig;
    in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught.

⁸ Let ruin overtake them unawares;
    let the snare they have set catch them;
    let them fall into the pit they have dug.^(A)

⁷ They have set a trap for my feet;
    my soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me.
    May they fall into it themselves!^(A)
Selah

²⁷ Whoever digs a pit falls into it;
    and a stone comes back upon the one who rolls it.^(A)
