Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path.

Keep me from the traps of those who do evil. Save me from the traps they have set for me.

I trust in you with all my heart. Don’t let me wander away from your commands.

Sinful people are waiting to destroy me. But I will spend time thinking about your covenant laws.

Bring their enemies against them without warning. Let cries be heard from their houses. They have dug a pit to capture me. They have hidden traps for my feet.

Give praise to the Lord. He has not let our enemies chew us up.We have escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.

They might say,“ Come along with us. Let’s hide and wait to kill someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. Let’s catch some harmless person in our trap.Let’s swallow them alive, as the grave does. Let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down into the pit.

Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground. They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.Sinful people say to themselves,“ God will never notice. He covers his face. He never sees us.”Lord, rise up! God, show your power! Don’t forget those who are helpless.Why do sinful people attack you with their words? Why do they say to themselves,“ He won’t hold us accountable”?God, you see the problems of people in trouble. You take note of their pain. You do something about it. So those who are attacked place themselves in your care. You help children whose fathers have died.Take away the power of sinful people. Hold them accountable for the evil things they do. Uncover all the evil they have done.The Lord is King for ever and ever. The nations will disappear from his land.Lord, you hear the desires of those who are hurting. You cheer them up and give them hope. You listen to their cries.You stand up for those whose fathers have died and for those who have been treated badly. You do it so that mere human beings made of dust may not terrify others anymore.

Proud people do what is against your law. They dig pits for me to fall into.

Daniel found out that the king had signed the order. In spite of that, he did just as he had always done before. He went home to his upstairs room. Its windows opened toward Jerusalem. He went to his room three times a day to pray. He got down on his knees and gave thanks to his God.

The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest Jesus at once. They knew he had told that story against them. But they were afraid of the people.The religious leaders sent spies to keep a close watch on Jesus. The spies pretended to be sincere. They hoped they could trap Jesus with something he would say. Then they could hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.So the spies questioned Jesus.“ Teacher,” they said,“ we know that you speak and teach what is right. We know you don’t favor one person over another. You teach the way of God truthfully.Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”Jesus saw they were trying to trick him. So he said to them,“ Show me a silver coin. Whose picture and words are on it?”“ Caesar’s,” they replied.He said to them,“ Then give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give back to God what belongs to God.”They were not able to trap him with what he had said there in front of all the people. Amazed by his answer, they became silent.

You correct proud people. They are under your curse. They wander away from your commands.

Proud people make fun of me without mercy. But I don’t turn away from your law.

They almost wiped me off the face of the earth. But I have not turned away from your rules.
