For
the
choirmaster.
A
Psalm
of
David.
Hear, O
God, my voice
of
complaint ;
preserve my life from dread
of the enemy.
>
Hear my
voice
, God, in
my complaint .
Preserve my life from fear
of the enemy.
Hide me from the scheming
of the wicked, from the mob
of
workers
of iniquity,
Hide me from the conspiracy
of the wicked, From the noisy
crowd
of the
ones
doing
evil;
who sharpen their tongues
like swords
and aim their bitter
words
like
arrows,
Who sharpen their tongue
like a
sword,
And aim their arrows, deadly
words,
ambushing
the
innocent in
seclusion,
shooting
suddenly ,
without
fear
.
To
shoot
innocent men
from
ambushes.
They
shoot
at
him
suddenly and
fearlessly
.
They hold
fast
to
their
evil purpose;
they speak
of
hiding
their
snares. “
Who will see them? ”
they
say.
They encourage
themselves
in
evil plans.
They talk
about
laying
snares secretly
. They
say,
"
Who will see them? "
They devise
injustice and
say
, “
We have perfected
a secret
plan .”
For
the
inner
man
and the
heart are mysterious
.
They plot
injustice, saying,
"
We have made
a perfect
plan !"
Surely
man's
mind
and heart are cunning
.
But God will shoot them with
arrows;
suddenly
they will be wounded
.
But God will shoot at
them .
They will be suddenly
struck
down
with
an
arrow
.
They
will
be
made
to
stumble,
their own tongues turned
against
them. All who see will shake their heads.
Their own tongues shall
ruin
them. All who see them
will shake their heads.
Then
all mankind will
fear
and
proclaim
the work of God ;
so
they
will
ponder what He has done.
All mankind shall
be
afraid.
They
shall
declare
the work of God ,
And
shall
wisely
ponder what he has done.
Let
the righteous rejoice
in the
LORD
and take refuge in Him ;
let
all the upright in heart exult.
The righteous shall
be
glad
in Yahweh,
And shall
take refuge in him .
All the upright in heart shall
praise
him!
