Psalms 64
64
Protect Me from Conspiracies
1For the music director, a psalm of David.
2Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint. Protect my life from terror of the enemy.
3Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of workers of iniquity,
4who sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed their arrow—bitter words,
5to shoot from hiding at the innocent, shooting suddenly at him, with no fear.
6They are firming up their evil plan. They talk about setting secret traps. They asked, “Who would see them?”
7They are plotting injustices: “We have completed a perfect plot!” A man’s inward part and heart are deep.
8But God will shoot them with an arrow— suddenly their wounds will appear.
9So their tongue will be their downfall. All who see them will flee away.
10Then all men will fear. So they will declare the work of God, and ponder what He has done.
11The righteous will be glad in Adonai and take refuge in Him. Let all the upright in heart give 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.
