1For the Leader. A Mizmor of David.
2Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
3Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
4Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
5That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
6They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, “Who would see them?”
7They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
8But Elohim does shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.
9So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.
10And all men fear; and they declare the work of Elohim, and understand His doing.
11A Tzadik shall be glad in יהוה , and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
אלַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד.
בשְׁמַע אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי בְשִׂיחִי; מִפַּחַד אוֹיֵב תִּצֹּר חַיָּי.
גתַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים; מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן.
דאֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם; דָּרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָר.
הלִירֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם; פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָאוּ.
ויְחַזְּקוּ לָמוֹ דָּבָר רָע יְסַפְּרוּ לִטְמוֹן מוֹקְשִׁים; אָמְרוּ מִי יִרְאֶה לָּמוֹ.
זיַחְפְּשׂוּ עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ; וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹק.
חוַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים: חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָם.
טוַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם; יִתְנֹדְדוּ כָּל רֹאֵה בָם.
יוַיִּירְאוּ כָּל אָדָם: וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים; וּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּילוּ.
יאיִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק בַּיהוה וְחָסָה בוֹ; וְיִתְהַלְלוּ כָּל יִשְׁרֵי לֵב.
