1
|
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
|
2
|
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
|
3
|
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
|
4
|
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
|
5
|
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
|
6
|
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. |
|
7
|
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. |
|
8
|
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
|
9
|
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
|
10
|
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
