|
1. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
|
||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
|
|
2. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,
|
||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
|
|
3. who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
|
||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
|
|
4. shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
|
||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
|
|
5. They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?”
|
||
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
|
|
6. They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
|
||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
|
|
7. But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly.
|
||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
|
|
8. They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
|
||
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
||
|
|
9. Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done.
|
||
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
||
|
|
10. Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!
