Psalm 64  Legacy Standard Bible

The Righteous Will Be Glad in Yahweh

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

64 Hear my voice, O God, in (A)my [a]complaint;
(B)Guard my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the (C)secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of the (D)workers of iniquity,
3 Who (E)have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They (F)aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
4 To (G)shoot [b]from places of hiding at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and (H)do not fear.
5 They [c]hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They [d]talk of (I)laying snares secretly;
They say, “(J)Who can see them?”
6 They searched out unrighteousness, saying,
“We have completed a diligent search”;
For the [e](K)inward thought of a man and his heart are [f]deep.

7 But (L)God [g]will shoot them with an arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.
8 So [h]they will (M)cause their own tongue (N)to turn against them;
All who see them will (O)shake their head.
9 Then all men [i]will (P)fear,
And they [j]will (Q)declare the work of God,
And [k]will consider [l]what He has done.
10 The righteous man will be (R)glad in Yahweh and will (S)take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
