Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of workers of iniquity,
For look, the wicked bend the bow. They fix their arrow on the bowstring so they can shoot from the shadows at those who are upright in heart.
Keep me from the jaws of the trap they have laid for me, and from the snares of the evildoers.
He will send from heaven and save me. He rebukes the one trampling on me. Selah God is sending His mercy and His truth.
O God, break their teeth in their mouths. Tear out the fangs of young lions, Adonai.
Reckless speech is like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
There is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose molars are knives, to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among humanity.
No weapon formed against you will prosper and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Adonai’s servants— their vindication is from Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
Beware, everyone, of your neighbor! Don’t even trust a brother. For every brother grabs like Jacob and every neighbor spreads slander.
