1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (64:2) 2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity; 3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word; 4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them. 6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart. 7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds. 8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head. 9 10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. | |
