←Prev   Psalms 64 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



64:1  For the music director. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my lamenting. Preserve my life from the fear of the enemy.
64:2  Hide me from the secret plots of evildoers, from the unrest of those who do iniquity,
64:3  who sharpen their tongue like a sword. They bend their bow to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
64:4  to shoot from their hiding places at the blameless. Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
64:5  They encourage themselves in the evil matter. They talk of secretly laying snares. They say, “Who will see them?”
64:6  They carefully plot injustices saying, “We have perfected the perfect plot!” Both the inner thought and heart of a man are deep.
64:7  But God will shoot them; with an arrow they will suddenly be wounded.
64:8  And they who would cause him to stumble, their own tongue will be against them. All who gaze on them will shake.
64:9  And then all men will fear, and will declare the working of God, and will understand his doing.
64:10  The righteous will rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in him, and all the upright in heart will boast.
