7. For they have privily laid their net to destroy ME with- |-out a cause: || yea, even without a CAUSE have they made a PIT for my soul.

8. Let a sudden destruction come upon him unawares, and his net that he hath laid privi-LY | catch him- |-self: || that HE may | fall in- | -to his own mischief. 9. And, my soul, be Joy-ful | in the | Lord: || it SHALL re- | -joice in his sal- |

1. My heart sheweth me the wicked-NESS OF the un- |-godly: || that there is no FEAR of God be- |-fore his eyes.

2. For he flattereth him-SELF in | his own | sight: || until His a- | -bomina- · -ble | SIN be found out.

3. The words of his mouth are unright-EOUS, and | FULL of de- | -ceit : || he hath left off to behave him-SELF | wise- -ly, AND to do | good.
