Psalms 64

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1HearH8085 my voiceH6963, O GodH430, in my prayerH7879: preserveH5341 my lifeH2416 from fearH6343 of the enemyH341.

2HideH5641 me from the secret counselH5475 of the wickedH7489; from the insurrectionH7285 of the workersH6466 of iniquityH205:

3Who whetH8150 their tongueH3956 like a swordH2719, and bendH1869 their bows to shoot their arrowsH2671, even bitterH4751 wordsH1697:

4That they may shootH3384 in secretH4565 at the perfectH8535: suddenlyH6597 do they shootH3384 at him, and fearH3372 not.

5They encourageH2388 themselves in an evilH7451 matterH1697: they communeH5608 of layingH2934 snaresH4170 privilyH2934; they sayH559, Who shall seeH7200 them?12

6They search outH2664 iniquitiesH5766; they accomplishH8552 a diligentH2664 searchH2665: both the inwardH7130 thought of every oneH376 of them, and the heartH3820, is deepH6013.34

7But GodH430 shall shootH3384 at them with an arrowH2671; suddenlyH6597 shall they be woundedH4347.5

8So they shall make their own tongueH3956 to fallH3782 upon themselves: all that seeH7200 them shall flee awayH5074.

9And all menH120 shall fearH3372, and shall declareH5046 the workH6467 of GodH430; for they shall wisely considerH7919 of his doingH4639.

10The righteousH6662 shall be gladH8055 in YhwhH3068, and shall trustH2620 in him; and all the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 shall gloryH1984.
