For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

You [are] my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion 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 perilous pestilence.

The wicked in [his] pride persecutes the poor; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Blessed [is] that man who makes the LORD his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent [men] have sought my life, And have not set You before them.

Then the swollen 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 set traps for me. Selah

"Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all the gods; for in the very thing in which they behaved proudly, [He was] above them."

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,

That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps [is] under their lips. Selah

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

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, 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, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

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

he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

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

For where envy and self-seeking [exist,] confusion and every evil thing [are] there.
