2Hide me from the conspiracyh of the wicked,i
from the plots of evildoers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swordsj
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.k
4They shoot from ambush at the innocent;l
they shoot suddenly, without fear.m
5They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;n
they say, “Who will see itb?”o
6They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
who whet their tongues like swords,
who aim bitter words like arrows,
shooting from ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
They hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of laying snares secretly,
thinking, “Who can see them?”
They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,
from the mob of evildoers,
who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,
shooting from concealed places at the blameless.
They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
They adopt an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?”
They devise crimes and say,
“We have perfected a secret plan.”
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.

NLTNew Living Translation
Hide me from the plots of this evil mob,
from this gang of wrongdoers.
They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows.
They shoot from ambush at the innocent,
attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
They encourage each other to do evil
and plan how to set their traps in secret.
“Who will ever notice?” they ask.
As they plot their crimes, they say,
“We have devised the perfect plan!”
Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Hide me from the secret plots of evildoers,
from the unrest of those who do iniquity,
who sharpen their tongue like a sword.
They bend their bow to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
to shoot from their hiding places at the blameless.
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
They encourage themselves in the evil matter.
They talk of secretly laying snares.
They say, “Who will see them?”
They carefully plot injustices saying,
“We have perfected the perfect plot!”
Both the inner thought and heart of a man are deep.

KJV 1900King James Version
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked;
From the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Who whet their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect:
Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter:
They commune of laying snares privily;
They say, Who shall see them?
They search out iniquities;
They accomplish a diligent search:
Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
