←Prev   Psalms 64 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



64:1  I am in trouble, God—listen to my prayer! I am afraid of my enemies—save my life!
64:2  Protect me from the plots of the wicked, from mobs of evil people.
64:3  They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like arrows.
64:4  They are quick to spread their shameless lies; they destroy good people with cowardly slander.
64:5  They encourage each other in their evil plots; they talk about where they will place their traps. “No one can see them,” they say.
64:6  They make evil plans and say, “We have planned a perfect crime.” The human heart and mind are a mystery.
64:7  But God shoots his arrows at them, and suddenly they are wounded.
64:8  He will destroy them because of those words; all who see them will shake their heads.
64:9  They will all be afraid; they will think about what God has done and tell about his deeds.
64:10  All righteous people will rejoice because of what the Lord has done. They will find safety in him; all good people will praise him.
