¹ I am in trouble, God—listen to my prayer!
    I am afraid of my enemies—save my life!
² Protect me from the plots of the wicked,
    from mobs of evil people.
³ They sharpen their tongues like swords
    and aim cruel words like arrows.
⁴ They are quick to spread their shameless lies;
    they destroy good people with cowardly slander.
⁵ They encourage each other in their evil plots;
    they talk about where they will place their traps.
    "No one can see them," they say.
⁶ They make evil plans and say,
    "We have planned a perfect crime."
The human heart and mind are a mystery.

⁷ But God shoots his arrows at them,
    and suddenly they are wounded.
⁸ He will destroy them because of those words;^[b]
    all who see them will shake their heads.
⁹ They will all be afraid;
    they will think about what God has done
    and tell about his deeds.
¹⁰ All righteous people will rejoice
    because of what the Lord has done.
They will find safety in him;
    all good people will praise him.
