64 (K4). ISRAEL'S REDEMPTION WAITED FOR. (Division.)
| K4 | T1 | 1-8 | Enemies. |
| 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 themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? | |||
| 6. They search out iniquities; they accomplish 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 they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. | |||
| T2 | 9 | Mankind in general. | |
| 9. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. | |||
| T3 | 10 | The righteous in particular. | |
| 10. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
