“May my soul ^H5315 not enter ^H935 into their council ^H5475;

May my glory ^H3519 not be united ^H3161 with their assembly ^H6951;

For in their anger ^H639 they killed ^H2026 [fn]men ^H376,

And in their self-will ^H7522 they lamed ^H6131 [fn]oxen ^H7794.

“For they are a nation ^H1471 [fn]destitute ^H6 of counsel ^H6098,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 understanding ^H8394 in them.

Then Absalom ^H53 said ^H559 to Ahithophel ^H302, “Give ^H3051 your advice ^H6098. What ^H4100 should we do ^H6213?”

Now when ^H834 Ahithophel ^H302 saw ^H7200 that his advice ^H6098 had not been [fn]followed ^H6213, he saddled ^H2280 his donkey ^H2543 and set ^H6965 out ^H6965 and went ^H1980 to his home ^H1004, to his city ^H5892, and [fn]set ^H6680 his house ^H1004 in ^H6680 order ^H6680, and hanged ^H2614 himself; so he died ^H4191 and was buried ^H6912 in his father’s ^H1 grave ^H6913.

From Manasseh ^H4519 some ^H4480 also defected ^H5307 to David ^H1732 when he was about to go ^H935 to battle ^H4421 with the Philistines ^H6430 against ^H5921 Saul ^H7586. But they did not help ^H5826 them, because ^H3588 the governors ^H5633 of the Philistines ^H6430 sent ^H7971 him away ^H7971 after consultation ^H6098, saying ^H559, “At the cost of our heads ^H7218 he might defect ^H5307 to his master ^H113 Saul ^H7586.”

Now when ^H834 our enemies ^H340 heard ^H8085 that it was known ^H3045 to us, and that God ^H430 had frustrated ^H6565 their plan ^H6098, then all ^H3605 of us returned ^H7725 to the wall ^H2346, each ^H376 one ^H376 to his work ^H4399.

“He frustrates ^H6565 the schemes ^H4284 of the shrewd ^H6175,

So that their hands ^H3027 cannot ^H3808 attain ^H6213 success ^H8454.

‘Is it [fn]right ^H2896 for You indeed ^H3588 to oppress ^H6231,

To reject ^H3988 the work ^H3018 of Your hands ^H3709,

And [fn]to look ^H3313 favorably ^H3313 on the plan ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563?

“Wisdom ^H2451 and might ^H1369 are with Him;

Advice ^H6098 and understanding ^H8394 belong to Him.

“His [fn]vigorous ^H202 stride ^H6806 is shortened ^H6887,

And his own plan ^H6098 brings ^H7993 him down ^H7993.

“Yet He filled ^H4390 their houses ^H1004 with good ^H2896 things;

But the advice ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563 is ^H7368 far ^H7368 from me.

“To me they listened ^H8085 and waited ^H3176,

And they kept ^H1826 silent ^H1826 for my advice ^H6098.

“Who ^H4310 is this ^H2088 who darkens ^H2821 the divine plan ^H6098

By words ^H4405 without ^H1097 knowledge ^H1847?

‘Who ^H4310 is this ^H2088 who conceals ^H5956 advice ^H6098 without ^H1097 knowledge ^H1847?’

Therefore ^H3651 I have declared ^H5046 that which I did not understand ^H995,

Things ^H6381 too ^H4480 wonderful ^H6381 for me, which I do not know ^H3045.

Blessed ^H835 is the person ^H376 who ^H834 does not walk ^H1980 in the counsel ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563,

Nor ^H3808 stand ^H5975 in the [fn]path ^H1870 of sinners ^H2400,

Nor ^H3808 sit ^H3427 in the seat ^H4186 of scoffers ^H3887!

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the wicked ^H7563 will not stand ^H6965 in the judgment ^H4941,

Nor ^H3808 sinners ^H2400 in the assembly ^H5712 of the righteous ^H6662.

How ^H575 long ^H5704 am I to feel ^H7896 anxious ^H6098 in my soul ^H5315,

With grief ^H3015 in my heart ^H3824 all the day ^H3119?

How ^H575 long ^H5704 will my enemy ^H340 be exalted ^H7311 over ^H5921 me?

You would put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954 the plan ^H6098 of the poor ^H6041,

But the LORD ^H3068 is his refuge ^H4268.

May He grant ^H5414 you your heart’s ^H3824 desire

And fulfill ^H4390 your whole ^H3605 plan ^H6098!

Though ^H3588 they [fn]intended ^H5186 evil ^H7451 against ^H5921 You

And devised ^H2803 a plot ^H4209,

They will not succeed ^H3201.

The LORD ^H3068 nullifies ^H6565 the plan ^H6098 of nations ^H1471;

He frustrates ^H5106 the plans ^H4284 of peoples ^H5971.

Come ^H1980 and see ^H7200 the works ^H4659 of God ^H430,

Who is awesome ^H3372 in His deeds ^H5949 toward ^H5921 the sons ^H1121 of mankind ^H120.

You will guide ^H5148 me with Your plan ^H6098,

And afterward ^H310 receive ^H3947 me [fn]to glory ^H3519.

A God ^H410 greatly ^H7227 feared ^H6206 in the council ^H5475 of the holy ^H6918 ones ^H6918,

And awesome ^H3372 above ^H5921 all ^H3605 those who are around ^H5439 Him?

They quickly ^H4116 forgot ^H7911 His works ^H4639;

They did not wait ^H2442 for His plan ^H6098,

Many ^H7227 times ^H6471 He would rescue ^H5337 them;

They, however, were rebellious ^H4784 in their plan ^H6098,

And they sank ^H4355 down ^H4355 into their guilt ^H5771.

Because ^H3588 they had rebelled ^H4784 against the words ^H561 of God ^H410

And rejected ^H5006 the plan ^H6098 of the Most ^H5945 High ^H5945.

[fn]Praise ^H1984 [fn]the LORD ^H3050!

I will give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to the LORD ^H3068 with all ^H3605 my heart ^H3824,

In the company ^H5475 of the upright ^H3477 and in the assembly ^H5712.

And you neglected ^H6544 all ^H3605 my advice ^H6098

And did not want ^H14 my rebuke ^H8433;
