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