Holman Christian Standard BibleBerean Study Bible
1For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. God, hear my voice when I complain. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy. 1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers, 2Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows, 3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4shooting from concealed places at the innocent. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid. 4ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
5They encourage each other in an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say," Who will see them?" 5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
6They devise crimes and say," We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious. 6They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded. 7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
8They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads. 8They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
9Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what He has done. 9Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
10The righteous one rejoices in the LORD and takes refuge in Him; all those who are upright in heart will offer praise. 10Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
