who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,



who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,

I have heard the gossip of many;
terror is on every side.
When they conspired against me,
they plotted to take my life.

They open their mouths wide against me and say,
“Aha, aha! We saw it!”

My enemies speak maliciously about me:
“When will he die and be forgotten?”


I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down with those who devour men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongues are sharp swords.

who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,



For they can’t sleep
unless they have done what is evil;
they are robbed of sleep
unless they make someone stumble.


Oh sinful nation,
people weighed down with iniquity,
brood of evildoers,
depraved children!
They have abandoned the Lord;
they have despised the Holy One of Israel;
they have turned their backs on Him.

who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,

wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shameful deeds; wandering stars for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever!

You love evil instead of good,
lying instead of speaking truthfully.Selah


The wicked person schemes against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him.

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea,
for it cannot be still,
and its waters churn up mire and muck.
