JPS Tanakh 1917 1For the Leader. A Psalm of David. 2Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from the terror of the enemy. 3Hide me from the council of evil-doers; From the tumult of the workers of iniquity; 4Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word; 5That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 6They encourage one another in an evil matter; They converse of laying snares secretly; They ask, who would see them. 7They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; Even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart. 8But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; Thence are their wounds. 9So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; All that see them shake the head. 10And all men fear; And they declare the work of God, And understand His doing. 11The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.
