‏ Psalms 64

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.
