“Indeed, the (A)light of the wicked goes out,
And the spark from his fire does not shine.
The light in his tent is (B)darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.
His [a]vigorous stride is shortened,
And his (C)own plan brings him down.
For he is (D)thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the webbing.
A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a trap snaps shut on him.
10 A noose for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the pathway.
11 All around (E)sudden terrors frighten him,
And (F)harass him at every step.
