1To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. O God, hear my voice in my complaint; guard my life from the terror of the enemy.
2Hide me from the counsel of those doing injury, from the tumult of doers of evil,
3who sharpen their tongue like a sword; they tread their arrows, a bitter word,
4to shoot at the perfect ones from a hiding place; suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They strengthen themselves in an evil thing; they talk of hiding snares; they say, Who shall see them?
6They search out injustices, saying, We have finished devising a plot. Yea, the inward part of man and the heart are deep!
7But God shall shoot an arrow at them; their wounds shall suddenly appear.
8So they shall be confounded; their tongue falls upon themselves; everyone seeing them shall flee.
9And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God; yea, they shall in wisdom consider His work.
10The righteous one shall rejoice in Jehovah, and shall trust in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
