NASB Bible

Psalms 64

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1

Hear my voice, O God, in  amy  1complaint;  bPreserve my life from dread of the enemy.

2

Hide me from the  asecret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of  bthose who do iniquity,

3

Who  ahave sharpened their tongue like a sword. They  baimed bitter speech as their arrow,

4

To  ashoot  1from concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and  bdo not fear.

5

They  1hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They  2talk of  alaying snares secretly; They say, " bWho can see them?"

6

They  1devise injustices, saying, "We are  2ready with a well-conceived plot"; For the  3 ainward thought and the heart of a man are  4deep.

7

But  aGod  1will shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly  2they will be wounded.

8

So  1they  2will  amake him stumble;  bTheir own tongue is against them; All who see them will  cshake the head.

9

Then all men  1will  afear, And they  2will  bdeclare the work of God, And  3will consider  4what He has done.

10

The righteous man will be  aglad in the LORD and will  btake refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.
