2Hide me from the wickedness of the evil one; from the corruption of the workers of iniquity,

3Who whet their tongues like a sword, and charge their words with poison like an arrow,

4That they may shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5They encourage themselves with evil speech; they plan to hide snares; they say, Who shall see us?

6They plan wickedness, but they are destroyed in order to consume evil from among men and from the depths of the heart.

7But God is great; suddenly he shall shoot at them with an arrow;

8So shall their tongues be silenced, and all that see them shall be frightened.

9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider the work of his hands.

10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify him.
