Psalms - Chapter 64 - A Conservative Version
- Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
- Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumult of the workers of iniquity,
- who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
- that they may shoot in secret places at a blameless man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
- They encourage themselves in an evil purpose. They converse of laying snares secretly. They say, Who will see them?
- They search out iniquities, [saying,] We have accomplished a diligent search. And the inward part of man and the heart [are] deep.
- But God will shoot at them. With an arrow they shall suddenly be wounded.
- So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them. All who see them shall wag the head.
- And all men shall fear. And they shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely consider of his doing.
- A righteous man shall be glad in LORD, and shall take refuge in him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.
