Psalms 64

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

1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat 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 conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.

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

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

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

4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, 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 encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it ?”

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 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 an arrow! Without warning, they will be wounded!

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

8 The LORD will make them trip over their own tongues; everyone who sees them will just 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 Then all people will honor God, will announce the act of God, will understand it was God's work.

9 All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God 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 The righteous will rejoice in the LORDand take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!
