Psalms 64

1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

1 Hear, OGod, my voice in my plaint; 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:

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

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

3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

4 That 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?

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will 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.

6 They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

7 ButGod will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

8 By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: 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.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declareGod's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

10The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
