Psalm 83:3

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Against thy chosen people they do crafty counsel take; And they against thy hidden ones do consultations make.

See the chapter Copy

Me from their secret counsel hide who do live wickedly; From insurrection of those men that work iniquity:

For he in his pavilion shall me hide in evil days; In secret of his tent me hide, and on a rock me raise.

In secret of thy presence thou shalt hide them from man's pride: From strife of tongues thou closely shalt, as in a tent, them hide.

He that doth in the secret place of the most High reside, Under the shade of him that is th' Almighty shall abide.

They meet, they lurk, they mark my steps, waiting my soul to kill.

He, lion-like, lurks in his den; he waits the poor to take; And when he draws him in his net, his prey he doth him make.

Why rage the heathen? and vain things why do the people mind?
