2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,

from the plots of evildoers.

3 They sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.

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:

2 Hide me from the plots of this evil mob,

from this gang of wrongdoers.

3 They sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim their bitter words like arrows.

2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,

From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,

3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,

And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

2 Hide me from those who plan wicked things,

from that gang who does evil.

3 They sharpen their tongues like swords

and shoot bitter words like arrows.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers,

From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword,

And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity, 3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

2 Hide me from the secret plots of criminals, 

from the mob of troublemakers. 

3 They sharpen their tongues like swords. 

They aim bitter words like arrows 

2 Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,

from the mob of evildoers,

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim bitter words like arrows,

2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,

from the scheming of evildoers,

3 who whet their tongues like swords,

who aim bitter words like arrows,

2 Hide me from the secret plots of evildoers,

from the unrest of those who do iniquity,

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword.

They bend their bow to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

2 Hide me from those who make evil plans against me.

Hide me from that crowd of people who are doing evil.

3 They make their tongues like sharp swords.

They aim their words like deadly arrows.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers,

From the tumult of those who do iniquity,

3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.

They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
