{{LinkText|Psalm 64}}
Lord, hear the voice of my complaint,
To my request give ear.
Preserve my life from cruel foes,
and free my soul from fear.
 
But God, to anger justly moved,
His dreadful Bow shall bend,
And, on his flying Arrows point,
Shall swift destruction send.
 
Those slanders, which their mouths did vent,
upon themselves shall fall,
Their crimes disclosed, shall make them be
despised, and shunned by all.
 
The World shall then God's power confess,
and Nations trembling stand,
Convinced that 'tis the mighty Work
of his avenging Hand.
 
While righteous men, whom God secures,
In Him shall gladly trust,
And all the listening earth shall hear
loud triumphs of the just.
