In context

1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 2Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, 3who sharpen their tongues like swords 4ambushing the innocent in seclusion, 5They hold fast to their evil purpose; 6They devise injustice and say, 7But God will shoot them with arrows; 8They will be made to stumble, 9Then all mankind will fear 10Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD
