¹(64) For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

¹O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

²You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

²To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

³who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

³Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

⁴to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

⁴Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁵They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

⁶They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

⁷and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁸and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

⁸My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

⁹and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

⁹But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

¹⁰They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
