Prayer for Rescue from Secret Enemies.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my voice, God, in my #64.1: Or concerncomplaint;
Protect my life from dread of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,
3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
4To shoot #64.4: Lit infrom concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
5They make firm for themselves an evil #64.5: Lit matterpurpose;
They #64.5: Lit tell oftalk of setting snares secretly;
They say, “Who can see them?”
6They #64.6: Or search outdevise injustices, saying,
“We are #64.6: Lit completeready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the #64.6: Or inward partinward thought and the heart of a person are #64.6: Or unsearchabledeep.
7¶But God #64.7: Or shotwill shoot an arrow at them;
Suddenly #64.7: Or they were wounded; lit their wounds occurredthey will be wounded.
8So #64.8: Or they make their tongue a stumbling for themselvesthey #64.8: Or madewill make him stumble;
Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will shake their heads.
9Then all people #64.9: Or fearedwill fear,
And they #64.9: Or declaredwill declare the work of God,
And #64.9: Or consideredwill consider #64.9: Lit His workwhat He has done.
10The righteous person will be glad in the Lord and take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
