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