7 I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch meand dug a pit to trap me.
8 Let destruction take them by surprise!Let the net they hid catch them!Let them fall into destruction!
9 Then I will rejoice in the Lordand be happy because of his deliverance.
10 With all my strength I will say,“O Lord, who can compare to you?You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them;the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”
11 Violent men perjure themselves,and falsely accuse me.
12 They repay me evil for the good I have done;I am overwhelmed with sorrow.
13 When they were sick, I wore sackcloth,and refrained from eating food.(If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)
