To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Psalms 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Psalms 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

Psalms 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Psalms 64:5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

Psalms 64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

Psalms 64:7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Psalms 64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Psalms 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Psalms 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
 (KJV)

Psalms Five - Psalms for the Soul

 Give ear to my words O LORD consider my meditation.  Hearken to the voice of my cry my King and my God for to you will I pray. My voice shall you hear in the morning O LORD in the morning will I direct my prayer to you and will look up.  For you are not a God that have pleasure in wickedness neither shall evil dwell with you.  The foolish shall not stand in your sight you hate all workers of iniquity. You shall destroy them that speak leasing the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple. Lead me O LORD in your righteousness because of mine enemies make your way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth their inward part is very wickedness their throat is an open sepulchre they flatter with their tongue.  Destroy  them O God let them fall by their own counsels cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.

But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice let them ever shout for joy because you defend them let them also that love your name be joyful in you.  For you LORD, will bless the righteous with favor will you compass him as with a shield.

 (KJV)
