PSALM 64:1-10
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?
THEY SEARCH OUT INIQUITIES;
THEY
ACCOMPLISH
A DILIGENT SEARCH:
BOTH
THE INWARD
THOUGHT
OF
EVERY ONE OF THEM,
AND
THE HEART,
IS DEEP.
BUT
GOD SHALL
SHOOT AT THEM
WITH AN ARROW;
SUDDENLY SHALL
THEY BE WOUNDED.
SO 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.
LOVE
