1 God, hear my voice when I am in anguish. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers,
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
5 They adopt an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, "Who will see them?"
6 They devise crimes and say, "We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.
8 They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9 Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what he has done.
10 The righteous one rejoices in the LORD and takes refuge in him; all those who are upright in heart will offer praise.
