PSALMS
65.6
- 7When I remember Thee upon my couch,
- And meditate on Thee in the nightwatches.
- 8For Thou hast been my help,
- And in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.
- 9My soul cleaveth unto Thee;
- Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
- 10But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,
- Shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
- 11They shall be hurled to the power of the sword;
- They shall be a portion for foxes.
- 12But the king shall rejoice in God;
- Every one that sweareth by Him shall glory;
- For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
64 For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
- 2Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
- Preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
- 3Hide me from the council of evil-doers;
- From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
- 4Who have whet their tongue like a sword,
- And have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
- 5That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless;
- Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
- 6They encourage one another in an evil matter;
- They converse of laying snares secretly;
- They ask, who would see them.
- 7They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search;
- Even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
- 8But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly;
- Thence are their wounds.
- 9So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves;
- All that see them shake the head.
- 10And all men fear;
- And they declare the work of God,
- And understand His doing.
- 11The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall take refuge in Him;
- And all the upright in heart shall glory.
65 For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David.
- 2Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion;
- And unto Thee the vow is performed.
- 3O Thou that hearest prayer,
- Unto Thee doth all flesh come.
- 4The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me;
- As for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.
- 5Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near,
- That he may dwell in Thy courts;
- May we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house,
- The holy place of Thy temple!
- 6With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness,
- O God of our salvation;
- Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
