| [To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.] | Prayer for Protection. Psalm 64(v63) | ||
| Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy, | |||
| hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the scheming of evildoers, | |||
| who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, | |||
| shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. | |||
| They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, "Who can see us? | |||
| Who can search out our crimes? We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot." For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep! | |||
| But God will shoot his arrow at them; they will be wounded suddenly. | |||
| Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin; all who see them will wag their heads. | |||
| Then all men will fear; t hey will tell what God has wrought, and ponder what he has done. | |||
| Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord, and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart glory! | |||
