| 11Do not let arrogant men overtake me, or let evil men make me homeless! | 11Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me or the hand of the wicked drive me away. |
| 12I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up! | 12There! The evildoers have fallen. They have been thrown down and cannot rise. |
