4 Let those who want me deadbe humiliated and put to shame.Let those who intend to hurt mebe thoroughly frustrated and disgraced.
5 Let them be like dust on the wind—and let the Lord’s messenger be the one who does the blowing!
6 Let their path be dark and slippery—and let the Lord’s messenger be the one who does the chasing!
7 Because they hid their net for me for no reason,they dug a pit for me for no reason.
8 Let disaster come to them when they don’t suspect it.Let the net they hid catch them instead!Let them fall into it—to their disaster!
9 But I will rejoice in the Lord;I will celebrate his salvation.
10 All my bones will say, "Lord, who could compare to you?You rescue the weak from those who overpower them;you rescue the weak and the needy from those who plunder them."
