Psalm 64
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. O God, listen to my complaint.
|
|
|
|
Protect my life from my enemies' threats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Hide me from the plots of this evil mob,
|
|
|
|
from this gang of wrongdoers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. They sharpen their tongues like swords
|
|
|
|
and aim their bitter words like arrows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. They shoot from ambush at the innocent,
|
|
|
|
attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. They encourage each other to do evil
|
|
|
|
and plan how to set their traps in secret.
|
|
|
|
"Who will ever notice?" they ask.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. As they plot their crimes, they say,
|
|
|
|
"We have devised the perfect plan!"
|
|
|
|
Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
|
|
|
|
suddenly striking them down.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Their own tongues will ruin them,
|
|
|
|
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Then everyone will be afraid;
|
|
|
|
they will proclaim the mighty acts of God
|
|
|
|
and realize all the amazing things he does.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. The godly will rejoice in the LORD
|
|
|
|
and find shelter in him.
|
|
|
|
And those who do what is right
|
|
|
|
will praise him.
