7  For without cause they hid their net for me;

without cause they ^wdug a pit for my life.¹

6  They set a net for my steps;

my soul was bowed down.

They ^bdug a pit in my way,

but they have ^cfallen into it themselves. Selah

20  Should good be repaid with evil?

Yet they have dug a pit for my life.

Remember how I stood before you

to speak good for them,

to turn away your wrath from them.

22  May a cry be heard from their houses,

when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!

For they have dug a pit to take me

and laid snares for my feet.
