• Prayer for Rescue from Secret Enemies.

  • 1 Hear my voice, God, in my complaint; Protect my life from dread of the enemy.
  • 2 Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,
  • 3 Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
  • 4 To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
  • 5 They make firm for themselves an evil purpose; They talk of setting snares secretly; They say, “Who can see them?”
  • 6 They devise injustices, saying, “We are ready with a well-conceived plot”; For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.
  • 7 But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly they will be wounded.
  • 8 So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake their heads.
  • 9 Then all people will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.
  • 10 The righteous person will be glad in the Lord and take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will boast.
