Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
|
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
|
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
|
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
|
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. |
|
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
|
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
