Psalms 64

1 I am in trouble, God - listen to my prayer! I am afraid of my enemies - save my life!

1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

2 Protect me from the plots of the wicked, from mobs of evil people.

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 arrows.

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

4 They are quick to spread their shameless lies; they destroy good people with cowardly slander.

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

5 They encourage each other in their evil plots; they talk about where they will place their traps. "No one can see them," they say.

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

6 They make evil plans and say, "We have planned a perfect crime." The human heart and mind are a mystery.

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

7 But God shoots his arrows at them, and suddenly they are wounded.

7 But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.

8 He will destroy them because of those words; all who see them will shake their heads.

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 They will all be afraid; they will think about what God has done and tell about his deeds.

9 All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.

10 All righteous people will rejoice because of what the Lord has done. They will find safety in him; all good people will praise him.

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