Psalm 64
Exaudi, Deus
1 HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer * preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the gathering together of the froward * and from the insurrection of wicked doers;
3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword * and shoot out their arrows, even bitter words;
4 That they may privily shoot at him that is perfect * suddenly do they hit him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in mischief * and commune among themselves how they may lay snares, and say that no man shall see them.
6 They imagine wickedness, and practise it * that they keep secret among themselves, every man in the deep of his heart.
7 But God shall suddenly shoot at them with a swift arrow * that they shall be wounded.
8 Yea, their own tongues shall make them fall * insomuch that whoso seeth them shall laugh them to scorn.
9 And all men that see it shall say, This hath God done * for they shall perceive that it is his work.
10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and put his trust in him * and all they that are true of heart shall be glad.
