1 HEAR my voice, O God, as I pray to thee; preserve my life from fear of mine enemy. 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 wickedness of the evil one; from the corruption of the 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 whet their tongues like a sword, and charge their words with poison like an 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 That they may shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 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 encourage themselves with evil speech; they plan to hide snares; they say, Who shall see us? 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 plan wickedness, but they are destroyed in order to consume evil from among men and from the depths of the heart. 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 But God is great; suddenly he shall shoot at them with an arrow; 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 So shall their tongues be silenced, and all that see them shall be frightened. 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 men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider the work of his hands. 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 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify him. 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!
