¹ Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy. ² Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity; ³ who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously; ⁴ to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear. ⁵ They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them? ⁶ They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

⁷ and God shall be exalted, their wounds were caused by the weapon of the foolish children, ⁸ and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled; ⁹ and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds. ¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
