To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

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: Shoot their arrows – Bitter words of the opponents of the truth. "The arrow that flieth by day." (Psa. 91:5) R3332:1; SM51:T

Receiving no arrows again in return from those who are seeking to serve the Lord. R4112:5

Even bitter words – The method of persecution at the present time. SM217:2

May hurt our flesh, but cannot do us harm. CR314:3

Possibly the extent of our sufferings may be the wounding of our feelings. R3002:4

Slanders and misrepresentations of the faithful. R2450:3, R2560:5, R5288:5; CR351:4*; HG558:1


4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. Shoot in secret – Injure the righteous. SM50:3

At the perfect – All identified with the work in a public way. R5365:3


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.
