¹ Hear my voice, O God, in ^(a)my ^[a]complaint;
^(b)Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
² Hide me from the ^(c)secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of ^(d)those who do iniquity,
³ Who ^(e)have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They ^(f)aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
⁴ To ^(g)shoot ^[b]from concealment at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and ^(h)do not fear.
⁵ They ^[c]hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They ^[d]talk of ⁽ⁱ⁾laying snares secretly;
They say, "^(j)Who can see them?"
⁶ They ^[e]devise injustices, saying,
"We are ^[f]ready with a well-conceived plot";
For the ^[g](k)inward thought and the heart of a man are ^[h]deep.

⁷ But ^(l)God ^[i]will shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly ^[j]they will be wounded.
⁸ So ^[k]they ^[l]will ^(m)make him stumble;
⁽ⁿ⁾Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will ^(o)shake the head.
⁹ Then all men ^[m]will ^(p)fear,
And they ^[n]will ^(q)declare the work of God,
And ^[o]will consider ^[p]what He has done.
¹⁰ The righteous man will be ^(r)glad in the Lord and will ^(s)take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will glory.
