Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,



Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

For I have heard the slander of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.

They opened their mouth wide against me;
They said, “Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!”

My enemies speak evil against me,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”


My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,



For they cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.


Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the Lord,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away from Him.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.

You love evil more than good,
Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.


The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up refuse and mud.
