Psalm 64

¹Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; *protect my life from fear of the enemy.

²Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, *from the mob of evildoers.

³They sharpen their tongue like a sword, *and aim their bitter words like arrows,

⁴That they may shoot down the blameless from ambush; *they shoot without warning and are not afraid.

⁵They hold fast to their evil course; *they plan how they may hide their snares.

⁶They say, “Who will see us? who will find out our crimes? *we have thought out a perfect plot.”

⁷The human mind and heart are a mystery; *but God will loose an arrow at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

⁸He will make them trip over their tongues, *and all who see them will shake their heads.

⁹Everyone will stand in awe and declare God’s deeds; *they will recognize his works.

¹⁰The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and put their trust in him, *and all who are true of heart will glory.
