Psalms 35:5-8 in English

⁵ Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah driving them on.

⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.

⁷ For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit; Without cause have they digged a pit for my soul.

⁸ Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.

⁵ He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
