Psalms 64

Prayer for deliverance from secret enemies.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

¹Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

²Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, From the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

³Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And aim their arrows, deadly words,

⁴To shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

⁵They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

⁶They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man`s mind and heart are cunning.

⁷But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

⁸Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

⁹All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely ponder what he has done.

¹⁰The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, And shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
