Psalms 64
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David.2 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.3 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;4 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;5 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.6 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly;
7 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; 8 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.9 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.10 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.
11 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
