PSALM 64
Hide Me From the Conspiracy For the choir director. A psalm by David.
Opening Plea 1Hear my voice, O God, when I complain. Protect my life from the terror caused by the enemy. 2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy mob of evildoers. The Enemies' Wickedness 3They sharpen their tongues like a sword. They shoot poison words like arrows. 4They shoot at the innocent from hiding places. Suddenly they shoot at him. They have no fear. 5They strengthen each other in an evil plot. They discuss where to hide snares. They say, “Who will see them?” 6They plot evil deeds and they say, “We have come up with a perfect plot!” The mind and heart of man are devious!
God's Judgment 7But God will shoot them. Suddenly they are wounded with an arrow. 8Their own tongues cause their downfall. Everyone who sees them will shake his head.
The Joy of the Godly 9Then all people will be afraid. They will proclaim the work of God. They will consider what he has done. 10Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him. Let all the upright in heart be confident!
Psalms 64:1-10 (KJV) Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
