| ¶ | [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. | ||
| Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: | |||
| Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words: | |||
| That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. | |||
| They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? | |||
| They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep. | |||
| But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. | |||
| So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. | |||
| And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. | |||
| The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
