1.    To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
 
2.    Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
 
3.    Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
 
4.    Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
 
5.    That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
 
6.    They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
 
7.    They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
 
8.    But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
 
9.    So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
 
10.    And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
 
11.    The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
