PSALM 64
Prayer for Deliverance from Secret Enemies.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my voice, O God, in my #Or concerncomplaint;
Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of those who do iniquity,
3Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
4To shoot from concealment at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
5They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who can see them?”
6They #Or search outdevise injustices, saying,
“We are ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the inward thought and the heart of a man are #Or unsearchabledeep.
7But God will shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.
8So they will make him stumble;
Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will shake the head.
9Then all men will fear,
And they will declare the work of God,
And will consider what He has done.
10The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will glory.

Psalm 64
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1Hear my voice, O God, when I complain.
Protect my life from a terrifying enemy.
2Hide me from the secret plots of criminals,
from the mob of troublemakers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swords.
They aim bitter words like arrows
4to shoot at innocent people from their hiding places.
They shoot at them suddenly, without any fear.
5They encourage one another in their evil plans.
They talk about setting traps and say,
“Who can see them?”
6They search for the perfect crime and say,
“We have perfected a foolproof scheme!”
Human nature and the human heart are a mystery!
7But God will shoot them with an arrow.
Suddenly, they will be struck dead.
8They will trip over their own tongues.
Everyone who sees them will shake his head.
9Everyone will be afraid and conclude,
“This is an act of God!”
They will learn from what he has done.
10Righteous people will find joy in the Lord and take refuge in him.
Everyone whose motives are decent will be able to brag.
