1 For the conclusion. A Psalm by David. Hear, God, my prayer when I invoke thee. From the fear of an enemy deliver my soul.
2 Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of wicked men; from the multitude of them who are working iniquity.
3 They sharpened their tongues like a sword: they bent a bow, a bitter thing,
4 to shoot secretly a blameless man: They are to shoot him suddenly and not be afraid.
5 They strengthened for themselves an evil matter: they talked of hiding snares, saying, Who can see us?
6 They searched for iniquity: they failed in the search. A man is to come with a deep heart; and God is to be exalted.
7 Their Wounds became the dart of infants:
8 when their tongues vilified him. All that saw them were troubled:
9 Then every man was afraid. Then they rehearsed the works of God; then they understood his doings.
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and trust in him: and let all the upright in heart be praised.
