Psalm 64 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ {\b For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint:\par\tab Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

² Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers,\par\tab From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

³ Who have whet their tongue like a sword,\par\tab And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

⁴ That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect:\par\tab Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

⁵ They encourage themselves in an evil purpose;\par\tab They commune of laying snares privily;\par\tab They say, Who will see them?

⁶ They search out iniquities;\par\tab We have accomplished, {\i say they}, a diligent search:\par\tab And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

⁷ But God will shoot at them;\par\tab With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

⁸ So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them:\par\tab All that see them shall wag the head.

⁹ And all men shall fear;\par\tab And they shall declare the work of God,\par\tab And shall wisely consider of his doing.

¹⁰ The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him;\par\tab And all the upright in heart shall glory.\par
