For in the time of evil He shall hide me in His den, in the secrecy of His tent He shall hide me; He shall lift me up upon a rock.

You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from distress; You shall enclose me with shouts of deliverance. Selah.

Hide me from the counsel of the wicked, from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity,

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the destructive pestilence.

The wicked in his pride persecutes the lowly; let them be caught in the plots that they have devised.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked cause me to wander.

Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust and has not turned to the proud, nor to such as turn aside to lies.

O God, the proud have risen against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set You before them.

then the churning waters would have gone over our soul.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have laid the bait for me. Selah

Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all the gods; for in the very things in which they behaved proudly, He was above them.

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Hide me from the counsel of the wicked, from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity,

so that they may shoot at the perfect one from a hiding place; suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you shall not be afraid of devastation when it comes.

Let us walk decently, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkenness, not in cohabitation and licentiousness, not in strife and envy.

For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, evil speakings, whisperings, conceits, commotions;

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold, how large a forest a little fire kindles.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Thus the tongue is set among our members, defiling the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by Gehenna.

But if you have bitter envy and contention in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For where envy and contention exist, there is confusion and every evil deed.
