PSALM 64
Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the LORD
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
​​Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 ​​Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
​​From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 ​​Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
​​And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 ​​That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
​​Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
​
5 ​​They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
​​They talk of laying snares secretly;
​​They say, “Who will see them?”
6 ​​They devise iniquities:
​​“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
​​Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
​
7 ​​But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
​​Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 ​​So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
​​All who see them shall flee away.
9 ​​All men shall fear,
​​And shall declare the work of God;
​​For they shall wisely consider His doing.
​
10 ​​The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in Him.
​​And all the upright in heart shall glory.
