The wicked one lies in wait for the righteous
and seeks to kill him;

They lying in wait for my soul shall be ashamed; they shall be finished; they seeking my evil shall be covered with reproach and shame.

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, - Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

This the doing of those lying in wait for me from Jehovah, and speaking evil against my soul.

They lying in wait for me shall put on shame, and they shall be covered with their shame as an upper garment
