1. For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. God, hear my voice when I complain. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.
|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 , A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 . Hear H8085 my voice H6963 , O God H430 , in my prayer H7879 : preserve H5341 my life H2416 from fear H4480 H6343 of the enemy H341 .
|
|
2. Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of evildoers,
|
2. Hide H5641 me from the secret counsel H4480 H5475 of the wicked H7489 ; from the insurrection H4480 H7285 of the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 :
|
|
3. who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
|
3. Who H834 whet H8150 their tongue H3956 like a sword H2719 , and bend H1869 their bows to shoot their arrows H2671 , even bitter H4751 words H1697 :
|
|
4. shooting from concealed places at the innocent. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
|
4. That they may shoot H3384 in secret H4565 at the perfect H8535 : suddenly H6597 do they shoot H3384 at him , and fear H3372 not H3808 .
|
|
5. They encourage each other in an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, "Who will see them?"
|
5. They encourage H2388 themselves in an evil H7451 matter H1697 : they commune H5608 of laying snares privily H2934 H4170 ; they say H559 , Who H4310 shall see H7200 them?
|
|
6. They devise crimes and say, "We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
|
6. They search out H2664 iniquities H5766 ; they accomplish H8552 a diligent search H2665 H2664 : both the inward H7130 thought of every one H376 of them , and the heart H3820 , is deep H6013 .
|
|
7. But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.
|
7. But God H430 shall shoot H3384 at them with an arrow H2671 ; suddenly H6597 shall they be H1961 wounded H4347 .
|
|
8. They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
|
8. So they shall make their own tongue H3956 to fall H3782 upon H5921 themselves: all H3605 that see H7200 them shall flee away H5074 .
|
|
9. Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what He has done.
|
9. And all H3605 men H120 shall fear H3372 , and shall declare H5046 the work H6467 of God H430 ; for they shall wisely consider H7919 of his doing H4639 .
|
|
10. The righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; all the upright in heart offer praise.
|
10. The righteous H6662 shall be glad H8055 in the LORD H3068 , and shall trust H2620 in him ; and all H3605 the upright H3477 in heart H3820 shall glory H1984 .
