Psalms 64 / 150
- 1Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
- 2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
- 3They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
- 4They shoot from ambush at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
- 5They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see them ?"
- 6They plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
- 7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down.
- 8He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
- 9All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
- 10Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!
