For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear{H8085} my voice,{H6963} O God,{H430} in my complaint:{H7879} Preserve{H5341} my life{H2416} from fear{H6343} of the enemy.{H341}

Hide{H5641} me from the secret counsel{H5475} of evil-doers,{H7489} From the tumult{H7285} of the workers{H6466} of iniquity;{H205}

Who have whet{H8150} their tongue{H3956} like a sword,{H2719} And have aimed{H1869} their arrows,{H2671} even bitter{H4751} words,{H1697}

That they may shoot{H3384} in secret{H4565} places at the perfect:{H8535} Suddenly{H6597} do they shoot{H3384} at him, and fear{H3372} not.

They encourage{H2388} themselves in an evil{H7451} purpose;{H1697} They commune{H5608} of laying{H2934} snares{H4170} privily;{H2934} They say,{H559} Who will see{H7200} them?

They search out{H2664} iniquities;{H5766} We have accomplished,{H8552} [say they], a diligent{H2664} search:{H2665} And the inward{H7130} thought and the heart{H3820} of every one{H376} is deep.{H6013}

But God{H430} will shoot{H3384} at them; With an arrow{H2671} suddenly{H6597} shall they be wounded.{H4347}

So they shall be made to stumble,{H3782} their own tongue{H3956} being against them: All that see{H7200} them shall wag{H5074} the head.

And all men{H120} shall fear;{H3372} And they shall declare{H5046} the work{H6467} of God,{H430} And shall wisely consider{H7919} of his doing.{H4639}

The righteous{H6662} shall be glad{H8055} in Jehovah,{H3068} and shall take refuge{H2620} in him; And all the upright{H3477} in heart{H3820} shall glory.{H1984}
