Hear
שְׁמַע
O God
אֱלֹהִ֣ים
my voice
קוֹלִ֣י
in my prayer
בְשִׂיחִ֑י
from fear
מִפַּ֥חַד
of the enemy
א֝וֹיֵ֗ב
preserve
תִּצֹּ֥ר
my life
חַיָּֽי׃
2
Hide
תַּ֭סְתִּירֵנִי
me from the secret counsel
מִסּ֣וֹד
of the wicked
מְרֵעִ֑ים
from the insurrection
מֵ֝רִגְשַׁ֗ת
of the workers
פֹּ֣עֲלֵי
of iniquity
אָֽוֶן׃
3
 
אֲשֶׁ֤ר
Who whet
שָׁנְנ֣וּ
like a sword
כַחֶ֣רֶב
their tongue
לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם
and bend
דָּרְכ֥וּ
their bows to shoot their arrows
חִ֝צָּ֗ם
words
דָּבָ֥ר
even bitter
מָֽר׃
4
That they may shoot
יֹ֝רֻ֗הוּ
in secret
בַּמִּסְתָּרִ֣ים
at the perfect
תָּ֑ם
suddenly
פִּתְאֹ֥ם
That they may shoot
יֹ֝רֻ֗הוּ
 
וְלֹ֣א
at him and fear
יִירָֽאוּ׃
5
They encourage
יְחַזְּקוּ
 
לָ֨מוֹ׀
matter
דָּ֘בָ֤ר
themselves in an evil
רָ֗ע
they commune
יְֽ֭סַפְּרוּ
of laying
לִטְמ֣וֹן
snares
מוֹקְשִׁ֑ים
they say
אָ֝מְר֗וּ
 
מִ֣י
Who shall see
יִרְאֶה
 
לָּֽמוֹ׃
6
They search out
חֵ֣פֶשׂ
iniquities
עוֹלֹ֗ת
they accomplish
תַּ֭מְנוּ
They search out
חֵ֣פֶשׂ
search
מְחֻפָּ֑שׂ
both the inward
וְקֶ֥רֶב
thought of every one
אִ֝֗ישׁ
of them and the heart
וְלֵ֣ב
is deep
עָמֹֽק׃
7
shall shoot
וַיֹּרֵ֗ם
But God
אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים
at them with an arrow
חֵ֥ץ
suddenly
פִּתְא֑וֹם
 
הָ֝י֗וּ
shall they be wounded
מַכּוֹתָֽם׃
8
to fall
וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּהוּ
 
עָלֵ֣ימוֹ
So they shall make their own tongue
לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם
them shall flee away
יִ֝תְנֹדֲד֗וּ
 
כָּל
upon themselves all that see
רֹ֥אֵה
 
בָֽם׃
9
shall fear
וַיִּֽירְא֗וּ
 
כָּל
And all men
אָ֫דָ֥ם
and shall declare
וַ֭יַּגִּידוּ
the work
פֹּ֥עַל
of God
אֱלֹהִ֗ים
of his doing
וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥הוּ
for they shall wisely consider
הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃
10
shall be glad
יִשְׂמַ֬ח
The righteous
צַדִּ֣יק
in the LORD
בַּ֭יהוָה
and shall trust
וְחָ֣סָה
 
ב֑וֹ
shall glory
וְ֝יִתְהַֽלְל֗וּ
 
כָּל
in him and all the upright
יִשְׁרֵי
in heart
לֵֽב׃
