Psalm 64

1 Listen to me when I complain, God! Protect my life from the enemy's terror!

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the secret plots of wicked people; hide me from the schemes of evildoers

2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords. They aim their arrow—a cruel word—

3 who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,

4 from their hiding places so as to shoot an innocent person. They shoot without warning and without fear.

4 shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.

5 They encourage themselves with evil words. They plan on laying traps in secret. "Who will be able to see them?" they ask.

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them? ”

6 "Let someone try to expose our crimes! We've devised a perfect plot! It's deep within the human mind and heart."

6 They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search. ”For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

7 But God will shoot them with an arrow! Without warning, they will be wounded!

7 But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly.

8 The LORD will make them trip over their own tongues; everyone who sees them will just shake their heads.

8 They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads.

9 Then all people will honor God, will announce the act of God, will understand it was God's work.

9 Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD; let them take refuge in him; let everyone whose heart is in the right place give praise!

10 Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!
