The American Standard Version of 1901

Psalms 64

1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the 1 tumult of the workers of iniquity; 1) Or throng

3

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

4

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

5

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

6

They search out iniquities; 1 We have accomplished, say they , a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. 1) Or as otherwise read They have accomplished (or have hidden )

7

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

8

So 1 they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall 2 wag the head. 1) Or shall they against whom their tongue was make them to stumble 2) Or flee away

9

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

10

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