⁴ Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me,
    for I find protection in you alone.

¹⁵ My eyes are always on the Lord,
    for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.

⁵ The proud have set a trap to catch me;
    they have stretched out a net;
    they have placed traps all along the way. Interlude

⁷ I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me.
    I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.

⁶ My enemies have set a trap for me.
    I am weary from distress.
They have dug a deep pit in my path,
    but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude

¹⁴ May the words of my mouth
    and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
    O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

⁵ To flatter friends
    is to lay a trap for their feet.

⁷ We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
    The trap is broken, and we are free!
