Psalms 63
1 For the end, a Psalm of David.
2 Hear my prayer, O God, when I make
my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.
3 Thou hast sheltered me from the
conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work
iniquity; 4 who have sharpened their
tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;
5 to shoot in secret at the blameless;
they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.
6 They have set up for themselves an
evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall
see them? 7 They have searched out
iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall
approach and the heart is deep, 8 and
God shall be exalted, their wounds were caused by the
weapon of the foolish children, 9 and
their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;
10 and every man was alarmed, and
they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.
11 The righteous shall rejoice in the
Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
