Ps 64
0 Psalm 64 For the Chief
Musician. A Psalm of David.
1
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
3
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter
words,
4
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him,
and fear not.
5
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily;
They say, Who will see them?
6
They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: And
the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
7
But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.
8
So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that
see them shall wag the head.
9
And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider
of his doing.
10
The righteous shall be glad in YHWH, and shall take refuge in him; And all the
upright in heart shall glory.
