1 لامام المغنين. مزمور لداود‎. ‎استمع يا الله صوتي في شكواي. من خوف العدو احفظ حياتي‎.2 ‎استرني من مؤامرة الاشرار من جمهور فاعلي الاثم3 الذين صقلوا ألسنتهم كالسيف. فوّقوا سهمهم كلاما مرّا4 ليرموا الكامل في المختفى بغتة يرمونه ولا يخشون‎.5 ‎يشددون انفسهم لامر رديء. يتحادثون بطمر فخاخ. قالوا من يراهم6 يخترعون اثما تمموا اختراعا محكما. وداخل الانسان وقلبه عميق7 فيرميهم الله بسهم بغتة كانت ضربتهم‎.8 ‎ويوقعون السنتهم على انفسهم. ينغض الراس كل من ينظر اليهم‎.9 ‎ويخشى كل انسان ويخبر بفعل الله وبعمله يفطنون‎.10 ‎يفرح الصدّيق بالرب ويحتمي به ويبتهج كل المستقيمي القلوب

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall on themselves: all that see them shall flee away.9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
