my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.
They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see it ?"
They plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
他們磨舌如刀，發出苦毒的言語，好像比準了的箭，
要在暗地射完全人；他們忽然射他，並不懼怕。
他們彼此勉勵設下惡計；他們商量暗設網羅，說：誰能看見？
他們圖謀奸惡，說：我們是極力圖謀的。他們各人的意念心思是深的。
但神要射他們；他們忽然被箭射傷。
他們必然絆跌，被自己的舌頭所害；凡看見他們的必都搖頭。
