Psalms 64

DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.	1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee : deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.	2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.	3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,	4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 to shoot in secret the undefiled.	5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?	6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:	7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:	8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 and their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;	9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.	10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
