CHAP. LXIV.
1 Dauid prayeth for deliuerance, complaining of his enemies. 7 He promiseth himselfe to see such an euident destruction of his enemies, as the righteous shall reioyce at it.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked: from the insurrection of the workers of iniquitie:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bowes to shoote their arrowes, euen bitter words:3
4 That they may shoote in secret at the perfect: suddenly doe they shoote at him, and feare not.
5 They incourage themselues in an euill matter: they commune of laying snares priuily; they say, Who shall see them?5
6 They search out iniquities, they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of euery one of them, and the heart, is deepe.6
7 But God shall shoote at them: with an arrowe, sodenly shall they be wounded.7
8 So they shall make their owne tongue to fall vpon themselues: all that see them, shall flee away.
