God’s arrows against secret plotters

¹For the music director. A psalm of David. ²God, listen to me as I pour out my complaint; \q keep me safe from the enemy I dread. ³Shelter me from the wicked when they plot together in secret, \q from the restless crowd of those who do evil, ⁴who grind their tongues sharp as a sword \q and fit bitter words to the bow like arrows, ⁵to fire from hiding at the blameless; \q all at once they let fly, without any fear. ⁶They make each other bold in their evil scheme \q and talk of setting traps where none can see; \q they say, “Who will notice them?” ⁷They search out crimes and say, \q “We have a flawless scheme, thoroughly thought out!” \q How deep are the thoughts and the heart of a human being!^{a 8}But God lets fly an arrow at them; \q in an instant they are wounded. ⁹Their own words trip them and bring them down; \q everyone who sees them shakes their head. ¹⁰Then everyone is struck with awe; \q they announce what God has done \q and think deeply about his deeds. ¹¹May the righteous be glad in the LORD and make him their refuge; \q may all whose hearts are true give praise.
