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 secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the plots of evildoers.
from the plots of evildoers.
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
they will suddenly be struck down.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
