Psalms 64 — DBY

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

64Verse 1Hear, O^°God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:
^{Verse 2}Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,
^{Verse 3}Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;
^{Verse 4}That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
^{Verse 5}They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?
^{Verse 6}They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.
^{Verse 7}But^°God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;
^{Verse 8}By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.
^{Verse 9}And all men shall fear, and shall declare^°God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.
^{Verse 10}The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
