Let them be like (A)chaff before the wind,
    with the angel of the Lord driving them away!
Let their way be dark and (B)slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them!

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