64:1  To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Guard 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 those who do wrong,
64:3  Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aim venomous words as arrows,
64:4  To shoot from ambush at the blameless [one]; Suddenly they shoot at him, without fear.
64:5  They encourage themselves in [their pursuit of] an evil agenda; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, “Who will discover us?”
64:6  They devise acts of injustice, saying, “We are ready with a well-conceived plan.” For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep (mysterious, unsearchable).
64:7  But God will shoot them with an [unexpected] arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.
64:8  So they will be caused to stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who gaze at them will shake the head [in scorn].
64:9  Then all men will fear [God’s judgment]; They will declare the work of God, And they will consider and wisely acknowledge what He has done.
64:10  The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in Him; All the upright in heart will glory and offer praise.
