1 | Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear
of the enemy. |
|
2 | Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
|
3 | Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to
shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
|
4 | That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they
shoot at him, and fear not. |
|
5 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of
laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
|
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 God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they
be wounded. |
|
8 | So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
all that see them shall flee away. |
|
9 | And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for
they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
|
10 | The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in
him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
