1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer:
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked;
3Who whet their tongue like a sword,
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect:
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter:
6They search out iniquities;
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
9And all men shall fear,
10The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him;
