For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
