Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.

“ They get ready to use their tongues like bows,” announces the Lord.“ Their mouths shoot out lies like arrows. They tell lies to gain power in the land. They go from one sin to another. They do not pay any attention to me.

You will make them turn their backs and run away when you aim your arrows at them.

Sinners pull out their swords. They bend their bows. They want to kill poor and needy people. They plan to murder those who lead honest lives.

They make their tongues like sharp swords. They aim their mean words like deadly arrows.They shoot from their hiding places at people who aren’t guilty. They shoot quickly and aren’t afraid of being caught.They help one another make evil plans. They talk about hiding their traps. They say,“ Who can see what we are doing?”

The next morning some Jews gathered secretly to make plans against Paul. They made a promise to themselves. They promised that they would not eat or drink anything until they killed him.More than 40 men took part in this plan.They went to the chief priests and the elders. They said,“ We have made a special promise to God. We will not eat anything until we have killed Paul.Now then, you and the Sanhedrin must make an appeal to the commanding officer. Ask him to bring Paul to you. Pretend you want more facts about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”

Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.

“ I’ll give her to David to be his wife,” Saul said to himself.“ Then maybe she’ll trap him. And maybe the Philistines will strike him down.” So Saul said to David,“ Now you have a second chance to become my son- in- law.”

They made plans to arrest Jesus secretly. They wanted to kill him.

The Most High God is like a shield that keeps me safe. He saves those whose hearts are honest.

An evil person is proud and hunts down those who are weak. He catches weak people by making clever plans.

Be glad because of what the Lord has done for you. Be joyful, you who do what is right! Sing, all you whose hearts are honest!

If evil people don’t change their ways, God will sharpen his sword. He will get his bow ready to use.

Godly people will be full of joy because of what the Lord has done. They will go to him for safety. All those whose hearts are honest will be proud of what he has done.

David learned that Saul was planning to attack him. So he said to Abiathar the priest,“ Bring the linen apron.”

He will again judge people in keeping with what is right. All those who have honest hearts will follow the right way.

When I grow weak, you are watching over my life. In the path where I walk, people have hidden a trap to catch me.

Lord, do good to those who are good. Do good to those whose hearts are honest.

Good things come to those who do what is right. Joy comes to those whose hearts are honest.
