Psalm 64

1 Dauid praieth againſt the furie and falſe reportes of his enemies. 7 He declareth their puniſhment & deſtruction, 10 To the comfort of the iuſt and the glorie of God.
¶ To him that excelleth. A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.H Eare my voice, ô God, in my praier: preſerue my life from feare of the enemie.
2.Hide me from the conſpiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.
3.Which haue whet their tongue like a ſworde, and ſhot for their arrowes bitter wordes:
4.To ſhote at the vpright in ſecret: thei ſhote at him ſuddenly, and feare not.
5.Thei encourage them ſelues in a wicked purpoſe: thei cõmune together to laie ſnares priuely, and ſaie, Who ſhal ſe them?
6.Thei haue ſoght out iniquities, and haue accompliſhed that which thei ſoght out, euen euerie one in his ſecret thoghts, and the depth of his heart.
7.But God wil ſhote an arrow at them ſuddenly: their ſtrokes ſhal be at once.
8.Thei ſhal cauſe their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whoſoeuer ſhal ſe them, ſhal flee awaie.
9.And all men ſhal ſe it, and declare the worke of God, and thei ſhal vnderſtand, what he hathe wroght.
10.But the righteous ſhal be glad in the Lord, & truſt in him: and all that are vpright of heart, ſhal reioyce.
