they have hidden their net for me unto
destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.

34:8. Let the snae which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net
which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.

34:9. But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in
his salvation.

34:10. All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest
the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and
the poor from them that strip him.

34:11. Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.

34:12. They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.

34:13. But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed
with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be
turned into my bosom.
