Psalm 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

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

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

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

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

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.

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

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

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

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

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

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

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

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.
