They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 57 of Psalms. Psalm 57 begins with refuge under God’s wings while the psalmist is surrounded by danger. Images of lions, spears, and traps describe a situation of extreme violence. Yet the petitioner’s heart is steadfast before circumstances change. The second half becomes public praise: God’s mercy is presented as reaching the heavens and his glory as destined to fill all the earth.

Erhebe dich, Gott, über den Himmel, und deine Ehre über alle Welt.
Red han armado a mis pasos; Hase abatido mi alma: Hoyo han cavado delante de mí; En medio de él han caído. (Selah.)
Tendieron una red para mis pasos, y mi alma se doblegó. Cavaron una fosa delante de mí, pero ellos mismos cayeron en ella. Selah.
Ils avaient tendu un filet sous mes pas: Mon âme se courbait; Ils avaient creusé une fosse devant moi: Ils y sont tombés. -Pause.
Essi avevano apparecchiata una rete a’ miei passi, Già tiravano a basso l’anima mia; Avevano cavata una fossa davanti a me; Ma essi vi sono caduti dentro. Sela
Armaram uma rede aos meus passos; a minha alma está abatida. Cavaram uma cova diante de mim, porém eles mesmos caíram no meio dela. (Selá.)
他們為我的腳設下網羅,壓迫我; 他們在我面前掘了坑,自己反掉在其中。(細拉)
