4 Let those who intend to take my life

be disgraced and humiliated;

let those who plan to harm me

be turned back and ashamed.j

5 Let them be like chaff in the wind,

with the angel of the Lord driving them away.k

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.l

7 They hid their net for me without cause;

they dug a pit for me without cause.m

8 Let ruin come on him unexpectedly,

and let the net that he hid ensnare him;

let him fall into it—to his ruin.n
