1 Hear, O my God, the voice of my lament: 2Hide me from villains who secretly plot, 3who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, 4which from ambush they launch at the blameless, 5They strengthen their wicked purpose, 6They think out their crimes full cunningly 7But God with his arrow will shoot them, 8For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, 9Then every person, touched to awe, 10In the LORD shall the righteous rejoice,
