Psalms 64:1

Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my1 meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
aAnd bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words, 
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
aThey say, “Who will see them?” 
6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
aAll who see them shall flee away. 
9 All men shall fear,
And shall adeclare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing. 
10 aThe righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
