⁸ He who ^(A)digs a pit will fall into it,
    and ^(B)a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.
^9 (C)He who quarries stones is hurt by them,
    and he who ^(D)splits logs is endangered by them.

⁷ For ^(A)without cause ^(B)they hid their net for me;
    without cause they dug ^(C)a pit for my life.^[a]
8 Let ^(D)destruction come upon him ^(E)when he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
    let him fall into it—to his destruction!

⁶ They set ^(A)a net for my steps;
    my soul was ^(B)bowed down.
They ^(C)dug a pit in my way,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

² In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
    let them ^(A)be caught in the schemes that they have devised.

¹⁵ The nations have sunk in ^(A)the pit that they made;
    in ^(B)the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
¹⁶ The Lord has made himself ^(C)known; he has executed judgment;
    the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.^[a] Selah
