Protection From Enemies
1   Hear  my  voice,  O  God,  in  my  prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
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:
4   That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5   They  encourage  themselves  in  an  evil matter: they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?
6   They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, are deep.
7   But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8   So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9   And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider his doings.
10  The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory
