1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

Psalms 64

1 David prayeth for deliverance, complaining of his enemies. 7 He promiseth himself to see such an evident destruction of his enemies, that the righteous shall rejoice at it.

 64:1 ¶ [[To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]] Hear, O God, my voice when I complain, From dread peril by the foe, wilt thou guard my life.

 64:2 Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

 64:3 Who have sharpened, like a sword, their tongue, Have made ready their arrow—a bitter word;

 64:4 To shoot, in secret places, at the blameless one, Suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.

 64:5 They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can see them?

 64:6 They devise perverse things, They have completed the device well devised, Both the intent of each one, and the mind, are unsearchable.

 64:7 ¶ Once let God have shot at them an arrow, Suddenly have appeared their own wounds!

 64:8 When they were to have ruined another, their tongue smote themselves, All who observe them take flight.

 64:9 Therefore have all men feared,—And have told the doing of God, And, his work, have considered.

 64:10 The righteous man shall rejoice in Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory—all who are upright in heart.
