For my enemieshave spokenagainst me; And those who watchfor my lifehave consultedtogether,
For I have heardthe whisperingof many,"Terroron everyside!Denounce[him]; yes, let us denouncehim!" Allmy trustedfriends,Watchingfor my fall,say: "Perhapshe will be deceived,so that we may prevailagainst him And takeour revengeon him."
They makeshrewdplansagainstYour people,And conspiretogether againstYour treasuredones.
They attack,they lurk,They watchmy steps,As they have waited[to take] my life.
For I have heardthe slanderof many,Terroris on everyside;While they tookcounseltogetheragainstme, They schemedto takeaway my life.
Nowwhen morningcame,allthe chief priestsand the eldersof the peopleconferredtogether againstJesusto put Him to death;
Ifthey say,"Comewith us, Let us liein waitfor blood,Let us ambushthe innocentwithoutcause;
He lurksin a hidingplaceas a lionin his lair;He lurksto catchthe afflicted;He catchesthe afflictedwhen he drawshim into his net.

Then Saulsentmessengersto David'shouseto watchhim, in order to puthim to deathin the morning.But Michal,David'swife,toldhim, saying,"Ifyou do not saveyour lifetonight,tomorrowyou will be putto death."
Let thisbe the rewardof my accusersfrom the LORD,And of those who speakevilagainstmy soul.
