64:1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. God, listen to my complaint. I am afraid of my enemies; protect my life from them.
64:2 Hide me from those who plan wicked things, from that gang who does evil.
64:3 They sharpen their tongues like swords and shoot bitter words like arrows.
64:4 From their hiding places they shoot at innocent people; they shoot suddenly and are not afraid.
64:5 They encourage each other to do wrong. They talk about setting traps, thinking no one will see them.
64:6 They plan wicked things and say, “We have a perfect plan.” The mind of human beings is hard to understand.
64:7 But God will shoot them with arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
64:8 Their own words will be used against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
64:9 Then everyone will fear God. They will tell what God has done, and they will learn from what he has done.
64:10 Good people will be happy in the Lord and will find protection in him. Let everyone who is honest praise the Lord.
