# 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. |
