Psalms 64

¹O God, listen to my complaint. Protect my life from my enemies’ threats.

²Hide me from the plots of this evil mob, from this gang of wrongdoers.

³They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows.

⁴They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly.

⁵They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret. “Who will ever notice?” they ask.

⁶As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.

⁷But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down.

⁸Their own tongues will ruin them, and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

⁹Then everyone will be afraid; they will proclaim the mighty acts of God and realize all the amazing things he does.

¹⁰The godly will rejoice in the Lord and find shelter in him. And those who do what is right will praise him.
