When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
When ... came ... to eat up my flesh, they stumbled. The Hebrew order is emphatic, 'When the wicked came near upon me to eat my flesh (like savage beasts), mine enemies against me (literally, to me х liy (H3807a]), themselves х heemaah (H1992)] stumbled and fell.' Themselves it was that fell, not (as they had expected) I, though doubtless, had not the Lord been with me, I should have fallen.
