New American Standard Bible 1995Christian Standard Bible
1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.1God, hear my voice when I am in anguish. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity,2Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers,
3Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
4To shoot from concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.4shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
5They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who can see them?"5They adopt an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, "Who will see them?"
6They devise injustices, saying, "We are ready with a well-conceived plot"; For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep.6They devise crimes and say, "We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7But God will shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.
8So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake the head.8They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9Then all men will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.9Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what he has done.
10The righteous man will be glad in the LORD and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.10The righteous one rejoices in the LORD and takes refuge in him; all those who are upright in heart will offer praise.
