The Book of Psalms 64

Text size

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 ⚑
