Psalms

Chapter 63

  1. 1

    Unto the end, a psalm for David.

  2. 2

    Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.

  3. 3

    Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

  4. 4

    For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

  5. 5

    To shoot in secret the undefiled.

  6. 6

    They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?

  7. 7

    They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

  8. 8

    And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

  9. 9

    And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

  10. 10

    And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.

  11. 11

    The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
