Psalm 64
1
Psalm 64 For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1
Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2
Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
3
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
4
They shoot from ambush at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
5
They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see them [1] ?"
6
They plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
7
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down.
8
He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9
All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
10
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!
