64:1  Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; guard and preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
64:2  Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, from the scheming of evildoers,
64:3  Who whet their tongues like a sword, who aim venomous words like arrows,
64:4  Who shoot from ambush at the blameless man; suddenly do they shoot at him, without self-reproach or fear.
64:5  They encourage themselves in an evil purpose, they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who will discover us?
64:6  They think out acts of injustice and say, We have accomplished a well-devised thing! For the inward thought of each one [is unsearchable] and his heart is deep.
64:7  But God will shoot an unexpected arrow at them; and suddenly shall they be wounded.
64:8  And they will be made to stumble, their own tongues turning against them; all who gaze upon them will shake their heads and flee away.
64:9  And all men shall [reverently] fear and be in awe; and they will declare the work of God, for they will wisely consider and acknowledge that it is His doing.
64:10  The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust and take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory and offer praise.
