| 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. |
