Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 35 of Psalms. Psalm 35 is an extensive plea against adversaries who respond with hostility to one who previously sought their well-being. Judicial and military language combines with a request that God intervene as defender. The psalmist protests the injustice of receiving evil for good and asks the Lord to make his justice public. The conclusion promises communal praise when deliverance confirms God’s righteousness.

Er müsse unversehens überfallen werden; und sein Netz, das er gestellt hat, müsse ihn fangen; und er müsse darin überfallen werden.
Véngale el quebrantamiento que no sepa, Y su red que escondió lo prenda: Con quebrantamiento en ella caiga.
Que la ruina lo sorprenda sin saberlo; que lo atrape la red que escondió y caiga en ella para su destrucción.
Que la ruine les atteigne à l'improviste, Qu'ils soient pris dans le filet qu'ils ont tendu, Qu'ils y tombent et périssent!
Venga loro una sprovveduta ruina, E sieno presi colla lor propria rete che hanno tesa di nascosto, E cadano nella ruina che mi hanno apparecchiata.
Sobrevenha-lhe destruição sem o saber, e prenda-o a rede que ocultou; caia ele nessa mesma destruição.
願災禍忽然臨到他身上! 願他暗設的網羅纏住自己! 願他落在其中遭災禍!
