Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the
threat of the enemy.
Hide me from the conspiracy
of the wicked,
from that noisy crowd of
evildoers.
They sharpen their tongues
like swords
and aim their words like
deadly arrows.
They shoot from ambush at the
innocent man;
they shoot at him suddenly,
without fear.
They encourage each other in
evil plans,
they talk about hiding their
snares;
they say, “Who will see
them?”
They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect
plan!”
Surely the mind and heart of
man are cunning.
But God will shoot them with
arrows;
suddenly they will be struck
down.
He will turn their own
tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake
their heads in scorn.
All mankind will fear;
they will proclaim the works
of God
and ponder what he has done.
Let the righteous rejoice in
the LORD
and take refuge in him;
let all the upright in heart praise him!
