Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  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.
