Psalms 69:22

¶ Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.

Let their table {H7979} become a snare {H6341} before {H6440} them: and that which should have been for their welfare {H7965}, let it become a trap {H4170}.

Let their dining table before them become a snare; when they are at peace, let it become a trap;

May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.

Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
