The Book Of Psalms 51 – 100
Chapter 64
(1) For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 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 Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.
