Chapter 64 |
| 1 | Hear my voice,
O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
| 2 | Hide
me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers
of iniquity: |
| 3
| Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows
to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
|
4 | That they may shoot in
secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
| 5 |
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares
privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
| 6 | They search out iniquities;
they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of
them, and the heart, is deep. |
|
7 | But God shall shoot at them with an
arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. |
| 8 | So they shall make their own
tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
| 9 |
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall
wisely consider of his doing. |
|
10 | The righteous shall be glad in the
LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
