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.
