[1]For the Leader. A Psalm of David.[2]Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.[3]Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;[4]Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;[5]That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.[6]They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.[7]They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.[8]But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.[9]So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.[10]And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.[11]The righteous shall be glad in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
