A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician. |
Psalm 64:1-10 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O God, hear my voice, in my prayer. [Safeguard] my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked, from the [rebellion of those who work sinfully,] |
[Those] who [sharpen] their tongue like a sword & bend their bows to shoot their bitter words, even [like] arrows, [so] that they may shoot [privately] at the blameless.] They shoot at him suddenly & [aren’t afraid.] |
They encourage themselves in a [wicked] matter. They [discuss] laying [traps secretly.] They say, Who shall see them? [Psalm 10:11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides His face & He will never see it.] |
They search out [wicked deeds.] They accomplish a diligent search [of] both the [innermost] thoughts of [each] of them & the [depths of the] heart. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow. Suddenly, they shall be wounded. [Like this,] they shall make their own tongue, [destroy] themselves. |
All [who] see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear [respect] & declare the work of God. For they shall wisely consider [what] He [does.] [Micah 7:7-9 Therefore, I will look to the Lord. I will wait for the God of my Salvation. My God will hear me. [Don't] rejoice against me, O [my] enemy. When I fall, I shall arise. |
When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a Light to me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He [pleads] my [case] & [delivers justice] for me. He will bring me [out] to the Light & I shall [see] His righteousness.] |
The righteous shall be glad in the Lord & shall trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall [give] glory. [Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the Lord. Rejoice, you righteous & shout for joy, all you [who] are upright in heart.] |
