(For the one directing. Mizmor of Dovid)

Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my si'akh (complaint);

preserve my life from the pachad (terror) of the oyev (enemy).

Hide me from the sod (secret counsel, conspiracy) of the re'im;

from the rigshah (insurrection, noisy crowd, assembly) of the workers of iniquity;

Who whet their tongue like a cherev,

and aim their khitzim (arrows), even davar mar (bitter words);

That they may shoot in secret at the tam (innocent);

pitom (suddenly) do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in a davar rah (an evil plan);

they speak in order to set mokshim (snares, hidden traps);

they say, Who shall see them?

Or search out their iniquities?

They have accomplished a cunningly devised plot;

for the mind of ish (man) and the lev (heart) are deep.

But Elohim shall shoot at them with a khetz (arrow);

pitom (suddenly) shall their wounds be.

So the leshon of them will bring ruin upon them;

all that see them shall shake their head.

And kol adam shall fear,

and shall declare the po'al Elohim (work of G-d);

for they shall ponder His ma'aseh.

The tzaddik shall be glad in Hashem, and shall take refuge in Him;

and all the yishrei lev (upright of heart) shall glory.
