“1 ¶ <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> Hear my voice, O God,
in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2 Hide me from
the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers
of iniquity: 3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their
bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words: 4 That they may shoot
in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5
They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying
snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? 6 They search out
iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought]
of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.”
“7 ¶ But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be
wounded. 8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
all that see them shall flee away. 9 And all men shall fear, and shall
declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. 10
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all
the upright in heart shall glory.” (Psalms 64:1-10 AV)
