7. For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit,which they have dug without cause for my soul.
8. Let destruction come on him without warning,and let the net that he hid ensnare him;let him fall into it, to his destruction.
9. My soul will be joyful in the Lord;it will rejoice in His salvation.
10. All my bones will say,“Lord, who is like You,who delivers the poor from a stronger one,the poor and the needy from the one who robs them?”
11. Witnesses intent on violence rose up;they accused me of things I knew nothing about.
12. They rewarded me evil for good,the bereavement of my soul.
13. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;I humbled my soul with fasting;and my prayer returns to my own heart.
14. I paced as though he were my friend or brother;I bowed down lamenting,as one who mourns for a mother.
15. But in my adversity they rejoiced and gathered together;assailants gathered together against me, though I was unaware;they tore me apart and did not stop;
16. with hypocritical mockers in feasts,they gnashed on me with their teeth.
