Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,
1
God, hear my voice when I complain. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.
2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
2
Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of evildoers,
3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.
3
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
4
shooting from concealed places at the innocent. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'
5
They encourage each other in an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, "Who will see them?"
6 They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.
6
They devise crimes [and say,] "We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
7
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.
8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
8
They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.
9
Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what He has done.
10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
10
The righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in Him; all the upright in heart offer praise.
