Psalm 64
1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
2 | Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
3 | Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words: |
4 | That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
5 | They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
6 | They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep. |
7 | But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. |
8 | So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
9 | And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
10 | The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
