• The Righteous Will Be Glad in Yahweh

  • 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Guard my life from dread of the enemy.
  • 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity,
  • 3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
  • 4 To shoot from places of hiding at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
  • 5 They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, “Who can see them?”
  • 6 They searched out unrighteousness, saying, “We have completed a diligent search”; For the inward thought of a man and his heart are deep.
  • 7 But God will shoot them with an arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.
  • 8 So they will cause their own tongue to turn against them; All who see them will shake their head.
  • 9 Then all men will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.
  • 10 The righteous man will be glad in Yahweh and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will boast.
