Psalms 64 — GNB

64Verse 1“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!^{Verse 2}Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!^{Verse 3}For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,^{Verse 4}To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.^{Verse 5}They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”^{Verse 6}They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.^{Verse 7}But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.^{Verse 8}Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.^{Verse 9}Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.^{Verse 10}The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
