Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me. All day long they plan their treachery.

那寻索我命的设下网罗；那想要害我的口出恶言，终日思想诡计。

那寻索我命的设下罗网，那想要害我的口出恶言，整日思想诡计。

那寻索我命的设下罗网，那想要害我的口出恶言，整日思想诡计。

谋害我的人设下陷阱，想害我的人威胁我，整天图谋奸计。

那些寻索我命的，设下网罗；那些想要害我的，口说威吓的话，他们整天思想诡计。

那些寻索我命的设下圈套，那些寻机加害我的口吐威吓，他们终日思想诡计。

尋索我命的設下網羅；謀求要害我的、直講毁滅的事，終日沉思着詭詐。

那些尋索我命的設下圈套，那些尋機加害我的口吐威嚇，他們終日思想詭計。

索取我命者設網罟、謀害我躬者出惡言、終日籌思詭計兮、

彼其之子、設詭計以害予、用譎謀而陷予、終日營營兮、

欲傷我者、設立機關、欲加害於我者、口出惡言、終日心生詭計、

良朋袖手看。家人不敢親。

Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.

Those who are trying to kill me set their traps. Those who want to harm me talk about destroying me. All day long they make their plans and tell their lies.

Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.

Those who intend to kill me set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they plot deception all day long.

Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, And plan deception all the day long.

Now Ahithophel urged Absalom,“ Let me choose 12,000 men to start out after David tonight.I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged. He and his troops will panic, and everyone will run away. Then I will kill only the king,and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride returns to her husband. After all, it is only one man’s life that you seek. Then you will be at peace with all the people.”

“ Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!” he shouted at David.“ The Lord is paying you back for all the bloodshed in Saul’s clan. You stole his throne, and now the Lord has given it to your son Absalom. At last you will taste some of your own medicine, for you are a murderer!”

Hide me from the plots of this evil mob, from this gang of wrongdoers.They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows.They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly.They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret.“ Who will ever notice?” they ask.

Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me; turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.

Keep me from the traps they have set for me, from the snares of those who do wrong.

For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. Interlude

Like lions crouched in hiding, they wait to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters they capture the helpless and drag them away in nets.

The teachers of religious law and the leading priests wanted to arrest Jesus immediately because they realized he was telling the story against them— they were the wicked farmers. But they were afraid of the people’s reaction.Watching for their opportunity, the leaders sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus.“ Teacher,” they said,“ we know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what others think. You teach the way of God truthfully.Now tell us— is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

The wicked have set their traps for me, but I will not turn from your commandments.

So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken down wall or a tottering fence.They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. Interlude
