The Hurtful Tongue
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows — bitter words,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows — bitter words,
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?
They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who will see them?”
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who will see them?”
They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.
They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.
So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
All who see them shall flee away.
All who see them shall flee away.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.
All men shall fear,
And shall declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
And shall declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
