1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. 2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, 3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, 4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. 5They encourage themselves in evil plans. 6They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" 7But God will shoot at them. 8Their own tongues shall ruin them. 9All mankind shall be afraid. 10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD,
