1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
1To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,
2Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
2Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
3Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
3Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow--a bitter word.
4That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
4To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
5They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?
5They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'
6They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
6They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart <FI>are<Fi> deep.
7But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.
7And God doth shoot them <FI>with<Fi> an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
8So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.
8And they cause him to stumble, Against them <FI>is<Fi> their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
