64:2 Hear my voice, God, as I plead: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
64:3 Hide me from the secret intrigues of the wicked and the open insurrection of evildoers.
64:4 They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrows, poisoned words,
64:5 in order to shoot from cover at the innocent, shooting suddenly and fearing nothing.
64:6 They support each other’s evil plans; they talk of hiding snares and ask, “Who would see them?”
64:7 They search for ways to commit crimes, bringing their diligent search to completion when each of them has thought it through in the depth of his heart.
64:8 Suddenly God shoots them down with an arrow, leaving them with wounds;
64:9 their own tongues make them stumble. All who see them shake their heads.
64:10 Everyone is awestruck — they acknowledge that it is God at work, they understand what he has done.
64:11 The righteous will rejoice in Adonai; they will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will exult.
