For the choir director: A psalm of David.
O God, listen to my complaint.
Protect my life from my enemies’ threats.
O God, listen to my complaint.
Protect my life from my enemies’ threats.
The Hurtful Tongue
{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the plots of this evil mob,
from this gang of wrongdoers.
from this gang of wrongdoers.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows.
and aim their bitter words like arrows.
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
They shoot from ambush at the innocent,
attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage each other to do evil
and plan how to set their traps in secret.
“Who will ever notice?” they ask.
and plan how to set their traps in secret.
“Who will ever notice?” they ask.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
As they plot their crimes, they say,
“We have devised the perfect plan!”
Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.
“We have devised the perfect plan!”
Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
suddenly striking them down.
suddenly striking them down.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
Their own tongues will ruin them,
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
Then everyone will be afraid;
they will proclaim the mighty acts of God
and realize all the amazing things he does.
they will proclaim the mighty acts of God
and realize all the amazing things he does.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
