Psalms 35:7

I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me. ¹ 

Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,

For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

Although I did them no wrong, they laid a trap for me. Although I did them no wrong, they dug a pit for me.

Out of sheer cussedness they set a trap to catch me; for no good reason they dug a ditch to stop me.

For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.

For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.

For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, Which they have dug without cause for my life.

I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me. ¹ 

¹ tc Heb “for without cause they hid for me a pit of their net, without cause they dug for my life.” It appears that the words “pit” and “net” have been transposed. “Net” goes with the verb “hid” in the first line (see v. 8, as well as Pss 9:15; 31:4), while “pit” goes with the verb “dug” in the second line (see Ps 7:15).
