1Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint:
2Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers,
3Who have whet their tongue like a sword,
4That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect:
5They encourage themselves in an evil purpose;
6They search out iniquities;
7But God will shoot at them;
8So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them:
9And all men shall fear;
10The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him;
