For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together,

我的仇敌议论我；那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，

我的仇敌议论我，那些窥探要害我命的一同商议，

我的仇敌议论我，那些窥探要害我命的一同商议，

我的仇敌议论我，那些想杀害我的一起策划阴谋，说：

因为我的仇敌议论我；那些窥探着要害我性命的，一同商议，

因为我的仇敌议论我，伺机要害我命的人一同商议，

我的仇敵議論我；那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議，

我的仇敵議論我，那些窺探要害我命的一同商議，

我的仇敵議論我，那些窺探要害我命的一同商議，

我的仇敵議論我，那些想殺害我的一起策劃陰謀，說：

因為我的仇敵議論我；那些窺探著要害我性命的，一同商議，

因為我的仇敵議論我；那些窺察着、要害我性命的、一同商議，

因為我的仇敵議論我，伺機要害我命的人一同商議，

蓋敵論我、伺索我命者同謀兮、

為余之敵者、謗毀沸騰、害予之命者、眾論僉同、

因我仇敵議論我、暗俟欲害我命、彼此商議、

不聞眾狡敵。狺狺向我吠。群姦窺吾命相聚議詭計。

For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.

For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

When daybreak came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.

They devise clever schemes against your people; they conspire against your treasured ones.

The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and his Anointed One:

he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize a victim; he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.

I have heard the gossip of many; terror is on every side. When they conspired against me, they plotted to take my life.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill him.

Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.I will attack him while he is weary and discouraged, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the kingand bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you’re looking for, all the people will be at peace.”This proposal seemed right to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.Then Absalom said,“ Summon Hushai the Archite also. Let’s hear what he has to say as well.”So Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom told him,“ Ahithophel offered this proposal. Should we carry out his proposal? If not, what do you say?”Hushai replied to Absalom,“ The advice Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”Hushai continued,“ You know your father and his men. They are warriors and are desperate like a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier who won’t spend the night with the people.He’s probably already hiding in one of the caves or some other place. If some of our troops fall first, someone is sure to hear and say,‘ There’s been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’Then, even a brave man with the heart of a lion will lose heart because all Israel knows that your father and the valiant men with him are warriors.Instead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba— as numerous as the sand by the sea— be gathered to you and that you personally go into battle.Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. Not even one will be left— neither he nor any of the men with him.If he retreats to some city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag its stones into the valley until not even a pebble can be found there.”Since the LORD had decreed that Ahithophel’s good advice be undermined in order to bring about Absalom’s ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel’s advice.”

If they say—“ Come with us! Let’s set an ambush and kill someone. Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!

Saul sent agents to David’s house to watch for him and kill him in the morning. But his wife Michal warned David,“ If you don’t escape tonight, you will be dead tomorrow!”

For I have heard the gossip of many people,“ Terror is on every side! Report him; let’s report him!” Everyone I trusted watches for my fall.“ Perhaps he will be deceived so that we might prevail against him and take our vengeance on him.”

The wicked one lies in wait for the righteous and intends to kill him;the LORD will not leave him in the power of the wicked one or allow him to be condemned when he is judged.
