Prayer for Protection from Enemies

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; guard my life from dread of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked, from the throng of the workers of iniquity; 3 they sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words, 4 that they may shoot in secret at the blameless; suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

5 They harden themselves in an evil matter; they talk privately of laying snares; they say, “Who will see them?” 6 They devise injustice, saying “We have perfected a secret plot.” Both the inward thought of man and the heart are deep.

7 But God will suddenly shoot them with an arrow; they will be wounded. 8 They will bring ruin on themselves by their own tongues; all who see them will flee away. 9 All people will fear, and declare the work of God; they will wisely consider His deeds.

10 The righteous will be glad in the Lord, and seek refuge in Him, and all the upright in heart will glory. — Psalm 64 | Modern English Version (MEV) The Holy Bible, Modern English Version.

Commentary on Psalms 64 by Matthew Henry

[magdelena2021]

Exodus 14 - Moses parts the Red Sea so that Israel can cross on dry land.

Mark 8 - When Jesus predicts His death, Peter rebukes Him. Jesus then rebukes Peter, because he has an earthly agenda and God's plan is something completely different.

The Hurtful Tongue

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked, from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity, 3 who whet their tongue like a sword and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words, 4 that they may shoot in secret at the perfect; suddenly do they shoot at him and fear not. 5 They encourage each other in an evil purpose; they commune in laying snares privily; they say, "Who shall see them?" 6 They search out iniquities, they conduct a diligent search; both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. 7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. 8 So shall they make their own tongue to fall upon themselves; all that see them shall flee away. 9 And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God, for they shall wisely consider His doing. 10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD and shall trust in Him, and all the upright in heart shall glory. — Psalm 64 | Third Millennium Bible (TMB) Third Millennium Bible, New Authorized Version, Copyright 1998 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity, who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows, ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares.

“Who will see them?” they say.

They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.”

For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them.

All who see will shake their heads.

Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult. — Psalm 64 | Berean Reader's Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.
