Whodeviseevilthingsin [their] hearts;They continuallystirup wars.
I am [for] peace,but whenI speak,They are for war.

Those who seekmy lifelaysnares[for me]; And those who seekto injureme have threateneddestruction,And they devisetreacheryalldaylong.
They attack,they lurk,They watchmy steps,As they have waited[to take] my life.
For behold,they have setan ambushfor my life;Fiercemenlaunchan attackagainstme, Not for my transgressionnorfor my sin,O LORD,
Howlongwill you assaila man,That you may murder[him], allof you, Like a leaningwall,like a totteringfence?
Deceitis in the heartof those who deviseevil,But counselorsof peacehave joy.
For their heartsare like an oven[As] they approachtheir plotting;Their angersmoldersallnight,In the morningit burnslike a flamingfire.
From you has goneforthOne who plottedevilagainstthe LORD,A wickedcounselor.
