⁸ A slaughtering arrow `is' their tongue, Deceit it hath spoken in its mouth, Peace with its neighbour it speaketh, And in its heart it layeth its ambush,

⁷ Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue `is' perverseness and iniquity,

⁹ For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart `is' mischiefs, An open grave `is' their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

³ Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.

² Who doth give me in a wilderness A lodging-place of travellers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of them `are' adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones.

³ And they bend their tongue, their bow `is' a lie, And not for stedfastness have they been mighty in the land, For from evil unto evil they have gone forth, And Me they have not known, An affirmation of Jehovah!

⁴ Each of his friend -- beware ye, And on any brother, do not trust, For every brother doth utterly supplant, For every friend slanderously doth walk,

⁶ thy dwelling `is' in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹² And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

¹ To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God `is' all the day.

⁴ Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

¹¹ Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood,

¹⁹ A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver `with' his lips make not thyself surety.

⁵ A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.

³ The words of his mouth `are' iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.

⁴ Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
