Psalms

Chapter 64

  1. 1

    Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

  2. 2

    Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

  3. 3

    Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

  4. 4

    That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

  5. 5

    They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

  6. 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. 7

    But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

  8. 8

    So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

  9. 9

    And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

  10. 10

    The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
