- Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
- Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity,
- Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
- To shoot from concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
- They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who can 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 ?"
