| 1 To the Overseer. A Psalm of David. |
|
| Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life, |
|
| 2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity. |
|
| 3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow a bitter word. |
|
| 4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not. |
|
| 5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it ' |
|
| 6 They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep. |
|
| 7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds, |
|
| 8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away. |
|
| 9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely. |
|
| 10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart! |
