1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 64

1 David prayeth for deliverance, complaining of his enemies. 7 He promiseth himself to see such an evident destruction of his enemies, that the righteous shall rejoice at it.

 64:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.]] Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

 64:3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

 64:5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

 64:6 They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

 64:7 But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

 64:8 By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

 64:10 The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
