Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; a psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Listen <08085> to me, O God <0430>, as I offer <06963> my lament <07879>! Protect <05341> my life <02416> from the enemy’s <0341> terrifying <06343> attacks.
2Hide <05641> me from the plots <05475> of evil <07489> men, from the crowd <07285> of evildoers <0205> <06466>.
3They sharpen <08150> their tongues <03956> like a sword <02719>; they aim <01869> their arrow <02671>, a slanderous <04751> charge <01697>,
4in order to shoot down <03384> the innocent <08535> in secluded places <04565>. They shoot <03384> at him suddenly <06597> and are unafraid <03372> <03808> of retaliation.
5They encourage <02388> one another to carry out their evil <07451> deed <01697>. They plan <05608> how to hide <02934> snares <04170>, and boast <0559>, “Who <04310> will see <07200> them?”
6They devise <02664> unjust <05766> schemes; they disguise a well-conceived <02664> plot <02665>. Man’s <0376> inner thoughts <07130> cannot be discovered <06013>.
7But God <0430> will shoot <03384> at them; suddenly <06597> they will be <01961> wounded <04347> by an arrow <02671>.
8Their slander <03956> will bring about their demise <03782>. All <03605> who see <07200> them will shudder <05074>,
9and all <03605> people <0120> will fear <03372>. They will proclaim <05046> what <06467> God <0430> has done <06467>, and reflect <07919> on his deeds <04639>.
10The godly <06662> will rejoice <08055> in the Lord <03069> and take shelter <02620> in him. All <03605> the morally <03820> upright <03477> will boast <01984>.
