1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: <br /> preserve my life from fear of the enemy. <br /> <br />2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; <br /> from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: <br /> <br />3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, <br /> and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, <br /> even bitter words: <br /> <br />4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: <br /> suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. <br /> <br />5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: <br /> they commune of laying snares privily; <br /> they say, Who shall see them? <br /> <br />6 They search out iniquities; <br /> they accomplish a diligent search: <br /> both the inward thought of every one of them, <br /> and the heart, is deep. <br /> <br />7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; <br /> suddenly shall they be wounded. <br /> <br />8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: <br /> all that see them shall flee away. <br /> <br />9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; <br /> for they shall wisely consider of his doing. <br /> <br />10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, <br /> and shall trust in him; <br /> and all the upright in heart shall glory. <br /> <br />(KJV)<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-64-the-righteous-shall-be-glad-in-the-lord/
