Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 64
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie. Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie. Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes. Psa 55:21; Psa 59:7; Jer 9:3To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not. They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them? Job 22:13; Job 24:15They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart. Jer 17:9But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once. They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away. Psa 7:15And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought. Exo 8:19; Est 8:17But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.Psa 32:11
