1Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
1To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.
2Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
2A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
3O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
4ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
4The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
5Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
6They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
6Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
7Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
8They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
8Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
9Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
9And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
10Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
10Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
