# Psalm 64 (New King James Version)
Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the Lord

##### Chapter 64
###### 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;  
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.  

###### 2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,  
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,  

###### 3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,  
And bend _their bows to shoot_ their arrows--bitter words,  

###### 4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;  
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

###### 5 They encourage themselves _in_ an evil matter;  
They talk of laying snares secretly;  
They say, "Who will see them?"  

###### 6 They devise iniquities:  
"We have perfected a shrewd scheme."  
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

###### 7 But God shall shoot at them _with_ an arrow;  
Suddenly they shall be wounded.  

###### 8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;  
All who see them shall flee away.  

###### 9 All men shall fear,  
And shall declare the work of God;  
For they shall wisely consider His doing.

###### 10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.  
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
