Psalm 64

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

 ^64:1Hear my voice, God, in my complaint.
      Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

 ^64:2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
      From the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

 ^64:3Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
      And aim their arrows, deadly words,
      ^64:4To shoot innocent men from ambushes.
      They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

 ^64:5They encourage themselves in evil plans.
      They talk about laying snares secretly.
      They say, "Who will see them?"

 ^64:6They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!"
      Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

 ^64:7But God will shoot at them.
      They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

 ^64:8Their own tongues shall ruin them.
      All who see them will shake their heads.

 ^64:9All mankind shall be afraid.
      They shall declare the work of God,
      And shall wisely ponder what he has done.

 ^64:10The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh,
      And shall take refuge in him.
      All the upright in heart shall praise him!
