| 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. --
