PSALM 64
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of
David.
1 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
mattera:
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.
7But 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.
