5. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
6. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.
8. Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9. And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10. All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, who delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that plunders him?
11. False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12. They rewarded me evil for good to the sorrow 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 returned into my own bosom.
14. I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
