Psalm 64

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

64:1

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

64:2

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

64:3

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

64:4

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

64:5

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

64:6

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

64:7

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

64:8

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

64:9

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

64:10

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