1God, hear my voice when I am in anguish. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy. Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers, 3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows, 4shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
