Psalm 64

Also in: CNV · ESV · NIV11 · NKJV · RCUV · CCBT

1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; From the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 3Who whet their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who shall see them? 6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. 7But God shall shoot at them With an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. 8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: All that see them shall flee away. 9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider of his doing. 10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.
