# Chapter 64
|
||
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. |
