64:1 For the choir director: A psalm of David. O God, listen to my complaint. Protect my life from my enemies' threats.
64:2 Hide me from the plots of this evil mob, from this gang of wrongdoers.
64:3 They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows.
64:4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
64:5 They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret. "Who will ever notice?" they ask.
64:6 As they plot their crimes, they say, "We have devised the perfect plan!" Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.
64:7 But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down.
64:8 Their own tongues will ruin them, and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
64:9 Then everyone will be afraid; they will proclaim the mighty acts of God and realize all the amazing things he does.
64:10 The godly will rejoice in the LORD and find shelter in him. And those who do what is right will praise him.
