7 His strong steps are shortened,

and his own schemes throw him down.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened,

And his own counsel shall cast him down.

7 The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened.

Their own schemes will be their downfall.

7 The steps of his strength are shortened,

And his own counsel casts him down.

7 Their strong steps will grow weak;

they will fall into their own evil traps.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened,

And his own counsel shall cast him down.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

7 “His healthy stride is shortened, 

and his own planning trips him up. 

7 His powerful stride is shortened,

and his own schemes trip him up.

7 Their strong steps are shortened,

and their own schemes throw them down.

7 “His strong steps are shortened,

and his own schemes throw him down,

7 They walk more slowly than they used to.

Their own evil plans make them fall.

7 “His vigorous stride is shortened,

And his own scheme brings him down.
