1 Hear my voice, God, in my complaint.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans.

6 They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!”

7 But God will shoot at them.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them.

9 All mankind shall be afraid.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD,
