‘Hold them guilty, O God,
Let them fall by their own counsels,
Thrust them out (or ‘down') in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against you.'
What upsets him is that these people have rebelled against God Himself, and so He calls for God to deal with them because they have rebelled against Him. Let Him recognise their guilt, he pleads, and hold them to it. Let Him bring their own clever schemes down on their own head, let the heavy load of their transgressions thrust them down. For they are unrepentant rebels against His Instruction (Law), and cause great problems for His people. Let them therefore reap what they sow.
