| Verse | |
| 1. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. | |
| 2. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, | |
| 3. Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows--bitter words, | |
| 4. That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear. | |
| 5. They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who will see them?" | |
| 6. They devise iniquities "We have perfected a shrewd scheme." Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. | |
| 7. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded. | |
| 8. So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away. | |
| 9. All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing. | |
| 10. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory. |
