1. Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3. Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4. That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
