Psalms Chapter 64

Verse 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. Verse 2. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Verse 3. Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: Verse 4. That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. Verse 5. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? Verse 6. They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. Verse 7. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. Verse 8. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. Verse 9. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. Verse 10. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
