          DASV: Psalm 64    

For the music director, a psalm of David

1 Listen to my voice, O God, in my complaint;
     preserve my life from terror of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the evil,
     from the mob of evildoers;
3 who sharpen their tongues like a sword,
     and aim bitter words like their arrows,
4 that they may shoot from camouflage at the blameless;
     suddenly they shoot at him with no fear.
5 They incite themselves in their evil purpose;
     they conspire to lay secret snares;
           they boast, "Who will see them?"
6 They search for injustice;
     they claim, "We have come up with the perfect plan,"
           for the human heart and thought are deep.

7 But God will shoot an arrow at them;
     suddenly they will be wounded.
8 Their own tongues will bring about their demise;
     all who see them will shake their heads in horror.
9 Then everyone will fear;
     they will declare what God has done,
           and wisely reflect on his mighty deeds.
10 The righteous one will rejoice in the LORD,
     and he will take refuge in him;
           all the upright in heart will praise him.
