Scripture Context

Psalms 64:2 - Psalms 65:1

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity;

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words;

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter; they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search; both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves; all that see them shall flee away.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
