1 Hear my voice, God, in my complaint.

Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,

from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword,

and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes.

They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans.

They talk about laying snares secretly.

They say, "Who will see them?"

6 They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!"

Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

7 But God will shoot at them.

They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them.

All who see them will shake their heads.

9 All mankind shall be afraid.

They shall declare the work of God,

and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

10 The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh,

and shall take refuge in him.

All the upright in heart shall praise him!

1 神啊！ 我哀诉的时候， 求你垂听我的声音； 求你保护我的性命， 脱离仇敌的恐吓。

2 求你把我隐藏， 使我脱离恶人的阴谋， 脱离作孽的人的扰乱。

3 他们磨快自己的舌头， 如同刀剑； 他们吐出恶毒的言语， 好像利箭，

4 要在暗地里射杀完全的人； 他们忽然射杀他， 毫不惧怕。

5 他们彼此鼓励， 设下恶计， 商议暗设网罗， 说： "谁能看见它们呢？"

6 他们图谋奸恶， 说： "我们设计了最精密的阴谋！ "人的意念和心思实在深不可测。

7 但 神要用箭射他们， 他们必忽然受伤。

8 他们各人反被自己的舌头所害， 必然跌倒； 所有看见他们的， 都必摇头。

9 众人都要惧怕， 要传扬 神的作为， 并且要思想他所作的事。

10 愿义人因耶和华欢喜， 并且投靠他； 愿所有心里正直的人， 都因他夸耀。
