7:3 O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, 1
or am guilty of unjust actions, 2
7:4 or have wronged my ally, 3
or helped his lawless enemy, 4
7:5 may an enemy relentlessly chase 5 me 6 and catch me; 7
may he trample me to death 8
and leave me lying dishonored in the dust. 9 (Selah)
7:12 If a person 10 does not repent, God sharpens his sword 11
and prepares to shoot his bow. 12
7:13 He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; 13
he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows. 14
7:14 See the one who is pregnant with wickedness,
who conceives destructive plans,
and gives birth to harmful lies – 15
7:15 he digs a pit 16
and then falls into the hole he has made. 17
7:16 He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans 18
and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. 19
