Psalms 64

1 Listen and help, O God. I'm reduced to a whine And a whimper, obsessed with feelings of doomsday.

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

2 Don't let them find me - the conspirators out to get me,

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.

3 Using their tongues as weapons, flinging poison words, poison-tipped arrow-words.

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

4 They shoot from ambush, shoot without warning, not caring who they hit.

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

5 They keep fit doing calisthenics of evil purpose, They keep lists of the traps they've secretly set. They say to each other, "No one can catch us,

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

6 no one can detect our perfect crime." The Detective detects the mystery in the dark of the cellar heart.

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

7 The God of the Arrow shoots! They double up in pain,

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

8 Fall flat on their faces in full view of the grinning crowd.

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 Everyone sees it. God's work is the talk of the town.

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

10 Be glad, good people! Fly to God! Good-hearted people, make praise your habit.

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