1 To the chief Musician * h5329 h8764, A Psalm * h4210 of David * h1732. Hear * h8085 h8798 my voice * h6963, O God * h430, in my prayer * h7879: preserve * h5341 h8799 my life * h2416 from fear * h6343 of the enemy * h341 h8802.
2 Hide * h5641 h8686 me from the secret counsel * h5475 of the wicked * h7489 h8688; from the insurrection * h7285 of the workers * h6466 h8802 of iniquity * h205:
3 Who whet * h8150 h8804 their tongue * h3956 like a sword * h2719, and bend * h1869 h8804 their bows to shoot their arrows * h2671, even bitter * h4751 words * h1697:
4 That they may shoot * h3384 h8800 in secret * h4565 at the perfect * h8535: suddenly * h6597 do they shoot * h3384 h8686 at him, and fear * h3372 h8799 not.
5 They encourage * h2388 h8762 themselves in an evil * h7451 matter * h1697: they commune * h5608 h8762 of laying * h2934 snares * h4170 privily * h2934 h8800; they say * h559 h8804, Who shall see * h7200 h8799 them? matter: or, speech of...: Heb. to hide his snares
6 They search out * h2664 h8799 iniquities * h5766; they accomplish * h8552 h8804 a diligent * h2664 h8794 search * h2665: both the inward * h7130 thought of every one * h376 of them , and the heart * h3820, is deep * h6013. they...: or, we are consumed by that which they have throughly searched a diligent...: Heb. a search searched
7 But God * h430 shall shoot * h3384 h8686 at them with an arrow * h2671; suddenly * h6597 shall they be wounded * h4347. shall they...: Heb. their wound shall be
8 So they shall make their own tongue * h3956 to fall * h3782 h8686 upon themselves: all that see * h7200 h8802 them shall flee away * h5074 h8709.
9 And all men * h120 shall fear * h3372 h8799, and shall declare * h5046 h8686 the work * h6467 of God * h430; for they shall wisely consider * h7919 h8689 of his doing * h4639.
10 The righteous * h6662 shall be glad * h8055 h8799 in the LORD * h3068, and shall trust * h2620 h8804 in him; and all the upright * h3477 in heart * h3820 shall glory * h1984 h8691.
