Psalm 64
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly,
thinking, “Who can see them?” They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep!
But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly.
They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them;
all who see them will wag their heads.
Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about
and ponder what he has done.
Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him!
Let all the upright in heart exult! (Psalm 64:1-10 ESV)
God, you are familiar with the depths of my heart and the recesses of my mind.
Let your grace penetrate even the most hidden parts of me so that all that I am honors and glorifies you. I look forward to a day when there is not one ounce of my being that is not completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. You also know the enemies that stand in the way of my sanctification; the obstacles to grace in my life. Forgive me of my sin and cleanse me of all unrighteousness (1 Jn. 1:9). Amen
