Ps 64:1Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Guard my life from the terror of the enemy.
Ps 64:2Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, From the scheming of those who do wrong,
Ps 64:3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aim venomous words as arrows,
Ps 64:4To shoot from ambush at the blameless [one]; Suddenly they shoot at him, without fear.
Ps 64:5They encourage themselves in [their pursuit of] an evil agenda; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who will discover us?"
Ps 64:6They 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).
Ps 64:7¶ But God will shoot them with an [unexpected] arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.
Ps 64:8So they will be caused to stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who gaze at them will shake the head [in scorn].
Ps 64:9Then 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.
Ps 64:10The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; All the upright in heart will glory and offer praise. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.<SS>
