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。

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

They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.

Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.

Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king.Then I will bring back all the people to you. When all return except the man whom you seek, all the people will be at peace.”And the saying pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.Then Absalom said,“ Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he says too.”And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying,“ Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up.”So Hushai said to Absalom:“ The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.For,” said Hushai,“ you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are enraged in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not camp with the people.Surely by now he is hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will be, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whoever hears it will say,‘ There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’And even he who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will melt completely. For all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.Therefore I advise that all Israel be fully gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.So we will come upon him in some place where he may be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground. And of him and all the men who are with him there shall not be left so much as one.Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city; and we will pull it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there.”So 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 purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring disaster on Absalom.

If they say,“ Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

Saul also sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying,“ If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”

For I heard many mocking:“ Fear on every side!”“ Report,” they say,“ and we will report it!” All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying,“ Perhaps he can be induced; Then we will prevail against him, And we will take our revenge on him.”

The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him.The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
