5. Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of Yahweh driving them.
6. Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7. For without cause they secretly hide the pit with their net for me; without cause they dug it for my life.
8. Let unforeseen ruin come on him, and his net that he hid, let it catch him. Let him fall into it in ruin.
9. Then my soul will rejoice in Yahweh; it will rejoice in his salvation.
10. All of my bones shall say, “O Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from one stronger than he and the poor and needy from the one who robs him?”
11. Violent witnesses rise up; they ask me concerning what I do not know.
12. They repay me evil in place of good. It is bereavement to my soul.
13. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I weakened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned to me unanswered.
14. I behaved as though he were a friend or as a brother to me. As one lamenting a mother, I was bowed down in mourning.
15. But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together; smiters whom I did not know gathered against me. They tore and did not cease.
16. Among the ungodly of the mockers at feasts, they gnashed at me with their teeth.
