²⁷ He who earnestly seeks good ^[a]finds favor,
^(A)But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.

¹¹ An evil man seeks only rebellion;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

^6 (A)They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

^15 (A)The ^[a]nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
¹⁶ The Lord is ^(B)known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
^(C)Meditation.^[b] Selah
