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 plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
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,
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
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.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
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 encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
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.
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 shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
All who see them shall flee away.
All who see them shall flee away.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
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.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
