Psalms
Chapter 64
[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? matter: or, speech of...: Heb. to hide his snaresThey search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. they...: or, we are consumed by that which they have throughly searched a diligent...: Heb. a search searchedBut God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. shall they...: Heb. their wound shall beSo they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
