¹ (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Listen to my concerns, God, and protect me from my terrible enemies. ² Keep me safe from secret plots of corrupt and evil gangs. ³ Their words cut like swords, and their cruel remarks sting like sharp arrows. ⁴ They fearlessly ambush and shoot innocent people. ⁵ They are determined to do evil, and they tell themselves, "Let's set traps! No one can see us." ⁶ They make evil plans and say, "We'll commit a perfect crime. No one knows our thoughts." ⁷ But God will shoot his arrows and quickly wound them. ⁸ They will be destroyed by their own words, and everyone who sees them will tremble with fear. ⁹ They will be afraid and say, "Look at what God has done and keep it all in mind." ¹⁰ May the LORD bless his people with peace and happiness and let them celebrate.
