To the chief musician, a psalm of David
64
📚✭Hear my voice, O God,in my prayer.
Preserve my life from the fear
of the enemy.
2 📚Hide me from the secret counsel
of the wicked,
from the scheming of evildoers,
3 📚Who sharpen their tongue
like a sword,
and bend bows to shoot their
arrows of bitter words,
4 📚✭That they may secretly shoot
at the innocent.
They suddenly shoot at him
and are not afraid.
5 📚They encourage themselves
in an evil matter.
They talk about secretly laying snares.
They say, “Who will see them?”
6 📚They devise wicked deeds:
“We have made a perfect scheme”.
Both the inward thought
and the heart of each one of them
are deep.
7 📚✭But God will shoot an arrow
at them.
Suddenly they will be wounded.
8 📚So they will cause their own tongue
to overthrow them.
All who see them will flee away.
9 📚✭And all men will fear and
declare the work of God,
for they will wisely consider
his deeds.
10 📚The righteous will be glad
in the LORD and will trust
in him,
and all the upright in heart will glory.
