64:1  For the choir director. A psalm of David. God, hear my voice when I am in anguish. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.
64:2  Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers,
64:3  who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
64:4  shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.
64:5  They adopt an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, “Who will see them?”
64:6  They devise crimes and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
64:7  But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.
64:8  They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
64:9  Then everyone will fear and will tell about God’s work, for they will understand what he has done.
64:10  The righteous one rejoices in the Lord and takes refuge in him; all those who are upright in heart will offer praise.
