For (A)without cause (B)they hid their net for me;
    without cause they dug (C)a pit for my life.[a]
Let (D)destruction come upon him (E)when he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
    let him fall into it—to his destruction!

Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord,
    (F)exulting in his salvation.

  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

Since they hid their net(A) for me without cause(B)

    may the net they hid entangle them,
    may they fall into the pit,(E) to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice(F) in the Lord
    and delight in his salvation.(G)
