Psalms 64

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. ²Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity; ³Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words, ⁴That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. ⁵They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them? ⁶They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. ⁷But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded. ⁸So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head. ⁹And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing. ¹⁰The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.
