1God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
2Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
3The hostile things they say MTY are like SIM sharp swords; their cruel words are like SIM arrows.
4Without being afraid, they lie about people and slander people who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots arrows at his enemy MET.
5They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk with each other about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one RHQ will see what we are doing,
6because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
7But it will be as though God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8Because of what they say MTY, he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees what has happened to them will shake their heads to ridicule them.
