²⁹ En Ik zal Mijn aangezicht voor hen niet meer verbergen, wanneer Ik Mijn Geest over het huis Israels zal hebben uitgegoten, spreekt de Heere Heere.

⁵ Daarom, zo zegt de Heere Heere: Zo Ik niet in het vuur Mijns ijvers gesproken heb tegen het overblijfsel der heidenen, en tegen het ganse Edom; die Mijn land zichzelven ten erve gegeven hebben met blijdschap des gansen harten, met begerige plundering, opdat de landerij daarvan ten rove zou zijn!

¹ Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

² Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

³ who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

⁴ to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

⁵ They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

⁶ They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

⁷ But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

⁸ Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

⁹ All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

¹⁰ The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him! For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.
