Though they intended evil against You and devised a plot, they cannot succeed.
For You girded me with strength for battle. You made those who rose up against me bow down before me.
They are plotting injustices: “We have completed a perfect plot!” A man’s inward part and heart are deep.
He bent His bow and made me the target for His arrow.
You have recorded my wanderings. You put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?
Yet You have spurned and humiliated us, and no longer go out with our armies.
I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, Elyon!
Have I sinned— what have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target? Have I become a burden to You?
Adonai also thundered in the heavens, and Elyon gave forth His voice, hail and fiery coals.
Take counsel together, but it will amount to nothing. Speak a word, but it will not stand. For God is with us!
