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,
1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow--a bitter word.
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart <FI>are<Fi> deep.
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7And God doth shoot them <FI>with<Fi> an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8And they cause him to stumble, Against them <FI>is<Fi> their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
