10 These also that seek the hurt of my soul: they shall go under
the earth.
11 Let them fall upon the edge of the sword: that they may be a
portion for foxes.
12 But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by
him shall be commended: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall
be stopped.
PSALM 64. _Exaudi, Deus_.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of
the enemy.
2 Hide me from the gathering together of the froward: and from the
insurrection of wicked doers;
3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword: and shoot out their
arrows, even bitter words;
4 That they may privily shoot at him that is perfect: suddenly do
they hit him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in mischief: and commune among
themselves how they may lay snares, and say that no man shall see
them.
6 They imagine wickedness, and practise it: that they keep secret
among themselves, every man in the deep of his heart.
7 But God shall suddenly shoot at them with a swift arrow: that
they shall be wounded.
8 Yea, their own tongues shall make them fall: insomuch that whoso
seeth them shall laugh them to scorn.
9 And all men that see it shall say, This hath God done: for they
shall perceive that it is his work.
10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and put his trust in
him: and all they that are true of heart shall be glad.
