| [1] O Lorde heare my voyce in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie |
[1]To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
| [2]Hyde me from the secrete [counsayles] of the malitious: from the conspiracie of the workers of iniquitie |
[2]Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
| [3]Who haue whet their tongue lyke a sword: who haue drawne their arrow, euen a bitter worde |
[3]Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
| [4]That they may priuily shoote at hym which is perfect: they do sodenly shoote at hym and feare not |
[4]That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
| [5]They courage them selues in mischiefe: and comune among them selues how they may lay snares, and say, who shall see them |
[5]They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who will see them? |
| [6]They searche out howe to do wrong, they put in practise fully that they haue diligently searched out: yea euen the secretes and bottome of euery one of their heartes |
[6]They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. |
| [7]But the Lorde wyll sodenly shoote at them with a [swyft] arrowe: their plagues shalbe [apparaunt. |
[7]But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. |
| [8]Yea they shall cause their owne tongues to be a meanes for to destroy the selues: insomuch that who so seeth them, shal desire to flee away [from them |
[8]So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
| [9]And all men that see it shall say, this hath God done: for they shall well perceaue that it is his worke |
[9]And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
| [10]The righteous wyll reioyce in God, and put his trust in hym: and all they that be vpright hearted wylbe glad |
[10]The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
