Psalm 63 — The Holy Bible

For the End; a psalm by David.

Hear my voice, O God, in my supplication;

Deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

You sheltered me from the conspiracy of evildoers,

From the multitude of those who work lawlessness,

Who sharpen their tongue like a sword;

They stretched their bow, a bitter thing,

To strike down the blameless man in secret;

Suddenly they will shoot him, and not be afraid.

They made an evil word strong in themselves;

They told of hiding snares;

They said, “Who will see them?”

They searched out lawlessness;

In searching they grew weary.

A man shall draw near, and the heart is deep;

And God shall be exalted.

Their blows became a childish barb,

And their tongues were utterly weakened in them.

All who saw them were troubled,

And every man was afraid.

And they proclaimed the works of God,

And understood His deeds.

The righteous man shall be glad in the Lord, and shall hope in Him;

And all the upright in heart shall be praised.
