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,
1 O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.
1To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.
2Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
2Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;
2A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
3Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow--a bitter word.
3Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;
3O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
4To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
4So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.
4The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
5They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'
5They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,
5Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
6They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart <FI>are<Fi> deep.
6Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.
6Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
7And God doth shoot them <FI>with<Fi> an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
7But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.
7Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
8And they cause him to stumble, Against them <FI>is<Fi> their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
8The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.
8Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
9And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.
9And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.
9And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
10The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
10The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.
10Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
