Hear my voice
, O God
, in amy 1complaint
; bPreserve
my life
from dread
of the enemy
.
Hide me from the asecret
counsel
of evildoers
, From the tumult
of bthose who do
iniquity
,
Who ahave sharpened
their tongue
like a sword
. They baimed
bitter
speech
as their arrow
,
To ashoot 1from concealment
at the blameless
; Suddenly
they shoot
at him, and bdo not fear
.
They 1hold fast
to themselves an evil
purpose
; They 2talk
of alaying
snares
secretly
; They say
, " bWho
can see
them?"
They 1devise injustices
, saying, "We are 2ready
with a well-conceived
plot
"; For the 3 ainward
thought
and the heart
of a man
are 4deep
.
But aGod 1will shoot
at them with an arrow
; Suddenly
2they will be wounded
.
So 1they 2will amake him stumble; bTheir own tongue
is against
them; All
who see
them will cshake
the head.
Then all men
1will afear
, And they 2will bdeclare
the work
of God
, And 3will consider
4what
He has done
.
The righteous man
will be aglad
in the LORD
and will btake
refuge
in Him; And all
the upright
in heart
will glory
.
