A Prayer for Protection from Hidden Enemies |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 1 | Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer:
| | | preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
|
|
| 2 | Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked;
| | | from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
|
|
| 3 | who whet their tongue like a sword,
| | | and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
|
|
| 4 | that they may shoot in secret at the perfect:
| | | suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
|
|
| 5 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter:
| | | they commune of laying snares privily; | | they say, Who shall see them? |
|
|
| 6 | They search out iniquities;
| | | they accomplish a diligent search: | | both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. |
|
|
| 7 | But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
| | | suddenly shall they be wounded. |
|
|
| 8 | So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
| | | all that see them shall flee away. |
|
|
| 9 | And all men shall fear,
| | | and shall declare the work of God; | | for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
|
|
| 10 | The righteous shall be glad in the LORD,
| | | and shall trust in him; | | and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
