64:1  For the music director, a psalm of David.
64:2  Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint. Protect my life from terror of the enemy.
64:3  Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of workers of iniquity,
64:4  who sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed their arrow—bitter words,
64:5  to shoot from hiding at the innocent, shooting suddenly at him, with no fear.
64:6  They are firming up their evil plan. They talk about setting secret traps. They asked, “Who would see them?”
64:7  They are plotting injustices: “We have completed a perfect plot!” A man’s inward part and heart are deep.
64:8  But God will shoot them with an arrow— suddenly their wounds will appear.
64:9  So their tongue will be their downfall. All who see them will flee away.
64:10  Then all men will fear. So they will declare the work of God, and ponder what He has done.
64:11  The righteous will be glad in Adonai and take refuge in Him. Let all the upright in heart give glory!
