64:1 O God, hear my voice when I complain. Keep my life safe from the fear of those who hate me.
64:2 Hide me from the secret plans of the sinful and from the noise of those who do bad things.
64:3 They have made their tongues sharp like a sword. They use poison words like arrows.
64:4 They shoot at the man without blame from their hiding place. They are quick to shoot at him and are not afraid.
64:5 They talk each other into doing sinful things. They talk about setting hidden traps. They say, “Who will see them?”
64:6 They think of ways to do bad things, and say, “We have made a perfect plan!” For the inside thoughts and the heart of a man are deep.
64:7 But God will shoot at them with an arrow. They will be hurt very soon.
64:8 They will be made to trip and fall. Their own tongue is against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
64:9 Then all men will be afraid. They will tell about the work of God. And they will think about what He has done.
64:10 The man who is right and good will be glad in the Lord and go to Him to be safe. All those whose hearts are right will give Him praise.
