Hide Me from the Wicked
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 64
|
|
1. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
|
|
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
|
|
|
|
2. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
|
|
from the throng of evildoers,
|
|
|
|
3. who whet their tongues like swords,
|
|
who aim bitter words like arrows,
|
|
|
|
4. shooting from ambush at the blameless,
|
|
shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
|
|
|
|
5. They hold fast to their evil purpose;
|
|
they talk of laying snares secretly,
|
|
thinking, "Who can see them?"
|
|
|
|
6. They search out injustice,
|
|
saying, "We have accomplished a diligent search."
|
|
For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
|
|
|
|
7. But God shoots his arrow at them;
|
|
they are wounded suddenly.
|
|
|
|
8. They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them;
|
|
all who see them will wag their heads.
|
|
|
|
9. Then all mankind fears;
|
|
they tell what God has brought about
|
|
and ponder what he has done.
|
|
|
|
10. Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD
|
|
and take refuge in him!
|
|
Let all the upright in heart exult!
