1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. | TOSK |
2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity, | TOSK |
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows, | C | TOSK |
4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear. | C | TOSK |
5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say. | C | TOSK |
6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious. | C | TOSK |
7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded. | C | TOSK |
8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads. | C | TOSK |
9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done. | C | TOSK |
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult. | TOSK |
