For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted 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.

My enemies speak against me. Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.

For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together

For my enemies are whispering against me. They are plotting together to kill me.

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

For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,

For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

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

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

For my enemies talk about me; those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.

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

They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life.

Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.

The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers conspire together Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

He lurks in secret like a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the needy; He catches the needy when he pulls him into his net.

For I have heard the slander of many, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life.

At that time the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest named Caiaphas;and they plotted together to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Please let me choose twelve thousand men and let me set out and pursue David tonight.And I will attack him while he is weary and exhausted and startle him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike and kill the king when he is alone,and I will bring all the people back to you. The return of everyone depends on the man whom you are seeking; then all the people will be at peace.”And the plan pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.Nevertheless, Absalom said,“ Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let’s hear what he has to say.”When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom said to him,“ Ahithophel has proposed this plan. Should we carry out his plan? If not, say so yourself.”So Hushai said to Absalom,“ This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good.”Then Hushai said,“ You yourself know your father and his men, that they are warriors and they are fierce, like a bear deprived of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and he will not spend the night with the people.Behold, he has now hidden himself in one of the ravines, or in another place; and it will be that when he falls on them at the first attack, whoever hears it will say,‘ There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom!’And even the one who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will completely despair; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.But I advise that all Israel be fully gathered to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, like the sand that is by the sea in abundance; and that you personally go into battle.Then we will come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him just as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.And if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the valley until not even a pebble is found there.”Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel.” For the Lord had ordained to foil the good advice of Ahithophel, in order for the Lord to bring disaster on Absalom.

If they say,“ Come with us, Let’s lie in wait for blood, Let’s ambush the innocent without cause;

Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, informed him, saying,“ If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death!”

For I have heard the whispering of many,“ Terror on every side! Denounce him; let’s denounce him!” All my trusted friends, Watching for my fall, say:“ Perhaps he will be persuaded, so that we may prevail against him And take our revenge on him.”

The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to kill him.The Lord will not leave him in his hand Or let him be condemned when he is judged.
