64:1  For the director. A psalm of David.
64:2  Listen, O God, to my cry of lament; from the dreaded enemy preserve my life.
64:3  Protect me from the council of the wicked, from the band of those who do evil.
64:4  They sharpen their tongues like swords, and they shoot forth their venomous words like arrows,
64:5  while they attack the innocent from ambush, shooting suddenly and without fear.
64:6  They agree on their evil plan, and they resolve to lay snares, saying, “Who will see us?”
64:7  They plot evil schemes and devise shrewd plots; the thoughts of their hearts are hidden.
64:8  However, God will shoot his arrows at them, and they will suddenly be struck down.
64:9  Their own tongues will bring them down, and all who see them will wag their heads.
64:10  Then everyone will be in awe, as they proclaim God’s mighty deeds and contemplate what he has done.
64:11  The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will praise him.
