² Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

⁹ Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

² For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

³ They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

² Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

¹⁹ But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
