| 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
| 2 ܫܡܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܩܠܝ ܟܕ ܐܬܟܫܦ ܠܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܢܛܪܝܢܝ | 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
| 3 ܣܬܪܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܥܘܠܗ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܘܦܟܐ ܕܥܒ̈ܕܝ ܥܘܠܐ | 3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
| 4 ܕܠܛܫܘ ܠܫܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܣܝܦܐ ܘܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܐܪܐ | 4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
| 5 ܠܡܫܕܐ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܒܬܡܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܢܫܕܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܚܙܘܢ | 5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
| 6 ܘܐܥܫܢܘ ܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܠܡܛܡܪ ܦܚ̈ܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܡܢܘ ܚܙܐ ܠܢ | 6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. |
| 7 ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܣܦܘ ܠܡܒܨܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܓܘܗ ܕܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܠܒܗ ܥܡܝܩܐ | 7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. |
| 8 ܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܫܕܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܓܐܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ | 8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
| 9 ܘܢܬܟܪܗܘܢ ܠܫܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ | 9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
| 10 ܘܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܟܠ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܢܚܘܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܥܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܢܚܘܪܘܢ | 10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
| 11 ܢܚܕܘܢ ܙܕܝܩ̈ܐ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܬܬܟܠܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢܝܗܝ ܟܠ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܝ ܠܒܐ | |
