|
1 |
Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
|
|
|
2 |
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
|
|
3 |
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows — bitter words,
|
|
4 |
That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
|
|
5 |
They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who will see them?”
|
|
6 |
They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
|
|
7 |
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
|
|
8 |
So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
All who see them shall flee away.
|
|
9 |
All men shall fear,
And shall declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
|
|
10 |
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in
Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
