1 God, listen to my complaint. Save me from the terrible threats of my enemies!
2 Protect me from the secret plans of the wicked. Hide me from that gang of evil people.
3 They sharpen their tongues to use like swords. They aim their poisonous words like arrows.
4 Suddenly, from their hiding places, they let their arrows fly. They shoot to kill innocent people.
5 They encourage each other to do wrong. They talk about setting traps and say, “No one will see them here!
6 No one will discover our crime. We have the perfect plan!” Yes, people can be very tricky and hard to understand.
7 But suddenly, God will shoot his arrows, and those wicked people will be hit.
