64:1 To the director: A song of David. God, listen to my complaint. Save me from the terrible threats of my enemies!
64:2 Protect me from the secret plans of the wicked. Hide me from that gang of evil people.
64:3 They sharpen their tongues to use like swords. They aim their poisonous words like arrows.
64:4 Suddenly, from their hiding places, they let their arrows fly. They shoot to kill innocent people.
64:5 They encourage each other to do wrong. They talk about setting traps and say, “No one will see them here!
64:6 No one will discover our crime. We have the perfect plan!” Yes, people can be very tricky and hard to understand.
64:7 But suddenly, God will shoot his arrows, and those wicked people will be hit.
64:8 He will use their own words against them, and they will be destroyed. Then everyone who sees them will shake their heads in amazement.
64:9 People will see what God has done. They will tell other people about him. Then everyone will learn more about God. They will learn to fear and respect him.
64:10 Good people are happy to serve the Lord. They depend on him to protect them. All those who want to do right will praise him!
