Psalms 64

New Living Translation NLT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New International Version NIV

1 Hear me, my 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 the plots of evildoers.

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

4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.

5 They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it ?”

6 They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

7 But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly 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 people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.

10 The righteous will rejoice in the LORDand take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!
