Psalm Chapter 64 Back NextPsalm 64 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by
David.
{64:1} Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
{64:2} Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
{64:3} who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their
arrows, deadly words,
{64:4} to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
{64:5} They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"
{64:6} They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man's mind and
heart are cunning.
{64:7} But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
{64:8} Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
{64:9} All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
{64:10} The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
