Psalm 64 (New International Version)
View In My BibleFor the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;1 protect my life from the threat of the enemy.2 2 Hide me from the conspiracy3 of the wicked,4 from that noisy crowd of evildoers. 3 They sharpen their tongues like swords5 and aim their words like deadly arrows.6 4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;7 they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.8 5 They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares;9 they say, "Who will see thema ?"10 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 them11 and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads12 in scorn.13 9 All mankind will fear;14 they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.15 10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD16 and take refuge in him;17 let all the upright in heart praise him!18Scripture quoted by permission.
