King James VersionPsalms64

Psalms

1 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.
