64:1 For the worship leader. A song of David. O True God, hear my voice! Listen to my complaint! Guard my life; keep me safe from my enemy’s threats.
64:2 Hide me from the sinful circle that conspires against me, from the band of rebels out to make trouble,
64:3 Who sharpen their tongues into swords, who take aim with poisonous words like arrows.
64:4 They hide in the shadows and shoot at the innocent; they shoot at them without warning and without any fear.
64:5 They persist in their evil purpose and plan in secret to lay their traps. And they say, “Who will see them?”
64:6 They plot their offense with precision and say, “Now we have the perfect crime.” The human heart and mind are deep and complex.
64:7 But without hesitation the True God will shoot at them; His arrow will surely wound them.
64:8 He will use their very own words to bring them to destruction; all who see will be appalled at what happens to them.
64:9 Then everyone will fear the True God; they will proclaim His deeds and will reflect upon all He has done.
64:10 The righteous will delight in the Eternal and will take shelter in Him. All those with an honest heart will glorify Him!
