Psalms 64

¹To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my[1] complaint; Guard my life from the terror of the enemy.

²Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, From the scheming of those who do wrong,

³Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aim venomous words as arrows,

⁴To shoot from ambush at the blameless [one]; Suddenly they shoot at him, without fear.

⁵They encourage themselves in [their pursuit of] an evil agenda; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who will discover us?"

⁶They devise acts of injustice, saying, "We are ready with a well-conceived plan." For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep (mysterious, unsearchable).

⁷But God will shoot them with an [unexpected] arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.

⁸So they will be caused to stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who gaze at them will shake the head [in scorn].

⁹Then all men will fear [God's judgment]; They will declare the work of God, And they will consider and wisely acknowledge what He has done.

¹⁰The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; All the upright in heart will glory and offer praise.
