| Chapter 63 |
1 |
Unto the end, a psalm for David. -
|
2 |
Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee : deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy. -
|
3 |
Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity. -
|
4 |
For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing, -
|
5 |
to shoot in secret the undefiled. -
|
6 |
They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them? -
|
7 |
They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart: -
|
8 |
and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds: -
|
9 |
and their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled; -
|
10 |
and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings. -
|
11 |
The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised. -
