Psalms 64

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

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

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 his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.

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

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

New Revised Standard NRS

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

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

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

4 shooting from ambush at the blameless; they shoot suddenly and without fear.

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

6 Who can search out our crimes? We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot." For the human heart and mind are deep.

7 But God will shoot his arrow at them; they will be wounded suddenly.

8 Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake with horror.

9 Then everyone will fear; they will tell what God has brought about, and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him. Let all the upright in heart glory.
