Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
⚓And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
⚓They say, “Who will see them?”
6They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
⚓All who see them shall flee away.
9All men shall fear,
And shall ⚓declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
10⚓The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.

Thov vajtswv tsom kwm
Sau rau tus thawj coj hu nkauj. Yog Davi zaj nkauj.
1Au Vajtswv, thov koj mloog kuv lub suab yws,
thov tsom kwm kuv txojsia ntawm
cov yeeb ncuab uas txaus ntshai kawg li.
2Thov muab kuv nraim
kom dhau cov neeg limhiam tej tswvyim phem,
thiab nraim kom dhau
cov neeg ua phem tej tswvyim.
3Lawv hov lawv tus nplaig
zoo yam nkaus li hov ntaj,
thiab muab tej lus nyaum tso
yam nkaus li nruab xub tshuaj lawm,
4Lawv nyob hauv lub chaw zov kev tua
rau cov neeg tsis txhaum,
lawv tua tamsid tsis ntshai leejtwg li.
5Lawv tuav rawv lawv lub tswvyim phem
ruaj ruaj li,
lawv hais txog qhov uas
muab voj hlua cuab twjywm,
lawv xav tias, “Leejtwg pom tau peb?”
6Lawv npaj tswvyim phem hais tias,
“Peb tau xav tswvyim ntse kawg li.”
Tej uas neeg xav
thiab tej uas nyob hauv lawv lub siab
yeej tob kawg li.
7Tiamsis Vajtswv yuav xuas hneev tua lawv
mas lawv yuav raug mob tamsid.
8Vim yog tim lawv tus nplaig
nws yuav ua rau lawv puam tsuaj.⚓
Txhua tus uas pom lawv yuav luag co hau nco.
9Mas sawvdaws yuav ntshai,
lawv yuav piav txog Vajtswv tej haujlwm,
thiab ua tib zoo xav txog
tej uas Vajtswv tau ua lawd.
10Cia cov neeg ncaj ncees
zoo siab xyiv fab rau hauv Yawmsaub,
thiab cawm siav rau hauv nws.
Cia txhua tus uas siab ncaj qhuas nws.
