He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. By David.
