| Chapter 64 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy: --
|
2 |
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity, --
|
3 |
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word; --
|
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 concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them? --
|
6 |
They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep. --
|
7 |
But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded; --
|
8 |
By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away. --
|
9 |
And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work. --
|
10 |
The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. --
