may ruin overtake them by surprise—(A)
    may the net they hid entangle them,
    may they fall into the pit,(B) to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice(C) in the Lord
    and delight in his salvation.(D)
10 My whole being will exclaim,
    “Who is like you,(E) Lord?
You rescue the poor from those too strong(F) for them,
    the poor and needy(G) from those who rob them.”

[a]Let (A)destruction come upon him unexpectedly,
And let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.

And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 (B)All my bones shall say,
Lord, (C)who is like You,
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”
