1	For the one directing. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my complaint; from the dread of the enemy, may You preserve my life.	Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.	For the director of music. A psalm of David. Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2	Hide me from the counsel of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,	Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,	Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.
3	who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim a bitter word as their arrow,	who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,	They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4	to shoot in secret at the blameless; suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.	shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.	They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5	They strengthen themselves in a word of evil; they recount the hiding of snares—they say, “Who is looking at them?”	They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?”	They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it?”
6	They search out injustice: “We have perfected a searching plot.” And the inner man and the heart is deep!	They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.	They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7	And God will shoot at them an arrow—suddenly they will be wounded.	But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly.	But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
8	They will be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them; all those looking on them will flee.	They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads.	He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9	And all mankind will fear, and they will declare the work of God, and His deed they will wisely consider.	Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done.	All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
10	A righteous one will be glad in YHWH, and he will take refuge in Him; and let all the upright in heart exult!	Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!	The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!
