Psalm 64Protection from Evildoers
|
|
|
|
1. God, hear my voice when I am in anguish.
|
|
Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.
|
|
|
|
2. Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,
|
|
from the mob of evildoers,
|
|
|
|
3. who sharpen their tongues like swords
|
|
and aim bitter words like arrows,
|
|
|
|
4. shooting from concealed places at the blameless.
|
|
They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
|
|
|
|
5. They adopt an evil plan;
|
|
they talk about hiding traps and say,
|
|
"Who will see them?"
|
|
|
|
6. They devise crimes and say,
|
|
"We have perfected a secret plan."
|
|
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
|
|
|
|
7. But God will shoot them with arrows;
|
|
suddenly, they will be wounded.
|
|
|
|
8. They will be made to stumble;
|
|
their own tongues work against them.
|
|
All who see them will shake their heads.
|
|
|
|
9. Then everyone will fear
|
|
and will tell about God's work,
|
|
for they will understand what he has done.
|
|
|
|
10. The righteous one rejoices in the Lord
|
|
and takes refuge in him;
|
|
all those who are upright in heart
|
|
will offer praise.
