- Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
- Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
- Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
- That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
- They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

- Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
- Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
- They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
- They shoot from ambush at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
- They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see them ?"
