The text of the psalm
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
שְׁמַע־אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי בְשִׂיחִי מִפַּחַד אוֹיֵב תִּצֹּר חַיָּֽי׃
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽר׃
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
לִירוֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּ׃
That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
יְחַזְּקוּ־לָמוֹ דָּבָר רָע יְסַפְּרוּ לִטְמוֹן מוֹקְשִׁים אָמְרוּ מִי יִרְאֶה־לָּֽמוֹ׃
They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.
יַחְפְּשׂוּ־עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽק׃
They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃
But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.
וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדֲדוּ כָּל־רֹאֵה בָֽם׃
So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.
וַיִּירְאוּ כָּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃
And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק בַּיהוָה וְחָסָה בוֹ וְיִתְהַלְלוּ כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
