Psalms 64 : 1 - 10
Chapter 64
| 1 | Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
|
| 2 | Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
|
| 3 | Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows--bitter words,
|
| 4 | That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
|
| 5 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who will see them?"
|
| 6 | They devise iniquities: "We have perfected a shrewd scheme." Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
|
| 7 | But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded.
|
| 8 | So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away.
|
| 9 | All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing.
|
| 10 | The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.
