[For the music director; a psalm of David.] Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy's terrifying attacks. |
2
|
Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers. |
3
|
They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge, |
4
|
in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation. |
5
|
They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, "Who will see them?" |
6
|
They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man's inner thoughts cannot be discovered. |
7
|
But God will shoot at them; suddenly they will be wounded by an arrow. |
8
|
Their slander will bring about their demise. All who see them will shudder, |
9
|
and all people will fear. They will proclaim what God has done, and reflect on his deeds. |
10
|
The godly will rejoice in the LORD and take shelter in him. All the morally upright will boast. |
