Psalms

64 0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1 HEAR my ^avoice, O God, in my prayer: ^bpreserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 ^cHide me from the ^dsecret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3 Who ^ewhet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

4 That they may shoot ^fin secret at the perfect: ^gsuddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 They ^hencourage themselves in an evil ¹matter: they commune ²of laying snares ^*privily; they ⁱsay, Who shall see them?

6 They ^jsearch out iniquities; ³they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is ^kdeep.

7 But ^lGod shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly ⁴shall they be wounded.

8 So they ^mshall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all ⁿthat see them shall ^oflee away.

9 And ^pall men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall ^qwisely consider of his doing.

10 The ^rrighteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
