Lexicon :: Strong's H2009 - hinnê

See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,

conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.

“For look, the wicked string bows;

they put their arrows on bowstrings

to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

But look, the LORD keeps his eye on those who fear him —

those who depend on his faithful love

Then I[fn] passed by and noticed he was gone;

I searched for him, but he could not be found.

“In fact, you have made my days just inches long,

and my life span is as nothing to you.

Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor.Selah

Then I said, “See, I have come;

in the scroll it is written about me.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;

see, I do not keep my mouth closed[fn] —

as you know, LORD.

Look! The kings assembled;

they advanced together.

“Here is the man

who would not make God his refuge,

but trusted in the abundance of his riches,

taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”

God is my helper;

the Lord is the sustainer of my life.[fn]

“How far away I would flee;

I would stay in the wilderness.Selah

Because look, LORD, they set an ambush for me.

Powerful men attack me,

but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.

Look, they spew from their mouths —

sharp words from[fn] their lips.

“For who,” they say, “will hear? ”

Look at them ​— ​the wicked!

They are always at ease,

and they increase their wealth.

If I had decided to say these things aloud,

I would have betrayed your people.[fn]

Those far from you will certainly perish;

you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

See how your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate you have acted arrogantly.[fn]

“I will make a record of those who know me:

Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —

each one was born there.”

For indeed, LORD, your enemies —

indeed, your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

How I long for your precepts!

Give me life through your righteousness.

Indeed, the Protector of Israel

does not slumber or sleep.

Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,

like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,

so our eyes are on the LORD our God

until he shows us favor.

Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD,

offspring, a reward.

In this very way

the man who fears the LORD

will be blessed.

We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;[fn]

we found it in the fields of Jaar.[fn]

How delightfully good

when brothers live together in harmony!

Now bless the LORD,

all you servants of the LORD

who stand in the LORD’s house at night!
