- [To the chiefe musician,
a Psalme of Dauid.]
- 1
- Heare my voice, O God, in my praier;
preserue my life from feare of the enemie.
- 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:
- 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?
- 6
- They search out iniquities, they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of euery one of them, and the heart, is deepe.
- 7
- But God shall shoote at them: with an arrowe, sodenly shall they be wounded.
- 8
- So they shall make their owne tongue to fall vpon themselues: all that see them, shall flee away.
- 9
- And all men shall feare, and shall declare the worke of God;
for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
- 10
- The righteous shalbe glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him;
and all the vpright in heart shall glory.
