Hide me from the (A)secret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of (B)the workers of injustice,
Who (C)have sharpened their tongues like a sword.

To (E)shoot [a]from concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and (F)do not fear.
They make firm for themselves an evil [b]purpose;

They say, “(H)Who can see them?”
They [d]devise injustices, saying,

They (F)make shrewd plans against Your people,
And [b]conspire together against (G)Your [c]treasured ones.
