| Chapter 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.
