Psalms 64

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] Listen, God, to my voice as I plead, protect my life from fear ofthe enemy;	1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 hide me from the league of the wicked, from the gang of evil-doers.	2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 They sharpen their tongues like a sword, aim their arrows of poisonous abuse,	3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 shoot at the innocent from cover, shoot suddenly, with nothing to fear.	4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They support each other in their evil designs, they discuss how to lay their snares. 'Who wil see us?'they say,	5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 'or wil penetrate our secrets?' He wil do that, he who penetrates human nature to its depths, thedepths of the heart.	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 God has shot them with his arrow, sudden were their wounds.	7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 He brings them down because of their tongue, and al who see them shake their heads.	8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Everyone wil be awestruck, proclaim what God has done, and understand why he has done it.	9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 The upright wil rejoice in Yahweh, wil take refuge in him, and al the honest wil praise him.	10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
