2 You will hide me from [the] secret counsel of evil-doers from [the] unrest of [those who] do wickedness.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 Who they sharpen like sword tongue their they bend arrow their a word bitter.

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 To shoot in secret places [the] blameless suddenly they shoot at him and not they are afraid.

to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5 They strengthen for themselves - a matter evil they speak to hide snares they say who? will he see them.

6 They plot injustice we have finished a plot plotted and [the] inner being of a person and [the] heart [is] deep.

They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

7 And he shot at them God an arrow suddenly they will be wounds their.

But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

8 And they caused to stumble him [is] on them tongue their they will shudder every [one who] looks on them.

Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

9 And they were afraid all humankind and they declared [the] deed[s] of God and work his they will consider.

All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

10 Let him rejoice [the] righteous in Yahweh and he will take refuge in him and let them boast all [people] upright of heart.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
