1 God, listen to my complaint.I am afraid of my enemies;protect my life from them.
2 Hide me from those who plan wicked things,from that gang who does evil.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swordsand shoot bitter words like arrows.
4 From their hiding places they shoot at innocent people;they shoot suddenly and are not afraid.
5 They encourage each other to do wrong.They talk about setting traps,thinking no one will see them.
6 They plan wicked things and say,“We have a perfect plan.”The mind of human beings is hard to understand.
7 But God will shoot them with arrows;they will suddenly be struck down.
