The Righteous Will Be Glad in Yahweh

¹ Hear my voice, O God, in ^(C1)my ^(F1)complaint;
^(C2)Guard my life from dread of the enemy.

² Hide me from the ^(C1)secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of the ^(C2)workers of iniquity,

³ Who ^(C1)have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They ^(C2)aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

⁴ To ^(C1)shoot ^(F1)from places of hiding at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and ^(C2)do not fear.

⁵ They ^(F1)hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They ^(F2)talk of ^(C1)laying snares secretly;
They say, "^(C2)Who can see them?"

⁶ They searched out unrighteousness, saying,
"We have completed a diligent search";
For the ^(F1)(C1)inward thought of a man and his heart are ^(F2)deep.

⁷ But ^(C1)God ^(F1)will shoot them with an arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.

⁸ So ^(F1)they will ^(C1)cause their own tongue ^(C2)to turn against them;
All who see them will ^(C3)shake their head.

⁹ Then all men ^(F1)will ^(C1)fear,
And they ^(F2)will ^(C2)declare the work of God,
And ^(F3)will consider ^(F4)what He has done.

¹⁰ The righteous man will be ^(C1)glad in Yahweh and will ^(C2)take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
