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.

When it was early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to execute him.

They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish.

The kings of the earth form a united front; the rulers collaborate against the LORD and his anointed king.

He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed; he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.

For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.They planned to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me pick out twelve thousand men. Then I will go and pursue David this very night.When I catch up with him he will be exhausted and worn out. I will rout him, and the entire army that is with him will flee. I will kill only the kingand will bring the entire army back to you. In exchange for the life of the man you are seeking, you will get back everyone. The entire army will return unharmed.”This seemed like a good idea to Absalom and to all the leaders of Israel.But Absalom said,“ Call for Hushai the Arkite, and let’s hear what he has to say.”So Hushai came to Absalom. Absalom said to him,“ Here is what Ahithophel has advised. Should we follow his advice? If not, what would you recommend?”Hushai replied to Absalom,“ Ahithophel’s advice is not sound this time.”Hushai went on to say,“ You know your father and his men– they are soldiers and are as dangerous as a bear out in the wild that has been robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier; he will not stay overnight with the army.At this very moment he is hiding out in one of the caves or in some other similar place. If it should turn out that he attacks our troops first, whoever hears about it will say,‘ Absalom’s army has been slaughtered!’If that happens even the bravest soldier– one who is lion-hearted– will virtually melt away. For all Israel knows that your father is a warrior and that those who are with him are brave.My advice therefore is this: Let all Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba– in number like the sand by the sea!– be mustered to you, and you lead them personally into battle.We will come against him wherever he happens to be found. We will descend on him like the dew falls on the ground. Neither he nor any of the men who are with him will be spared alive– not one of them!If he regroups in a city, all Israel will take up ropes to that city and drag it down to the valley, so that not a single pebble will be left there!”Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Arkite sounds better than the advice of Ahithophel.” Now the LORD had decided to frustrate the sound advice of Ahithophel, so that the LORD could bring disaster on Absalom.

If they say,“ Come with us! We will lie in wait to shed blood; we will ambush an innocent person capriciously.

Saul sent messengers to David’s house to guard it and to kill him in the morning. Then David’s wife Michal told him,“ If you do not save yourself tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”

I hear many whispering words of intrigue against me. Those who would cause me terror are everywhere! They are saying,“ Come on, let’s publicly denounce him!” All my so-called friends are just watching for something that would lead to my downfall. They say,“ Perhaps he can be enticed into slipping up, so we can prevail over him and get our revenge on him.

Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them.But the LORD does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.
