64:1  For the director of music. A song of David. God, listen to my complaint. I am afraid of my enemies. Protect my life from them.
64:2  Hide me from those wicked people, from that gang who does evil.
64:3  They sharpen their tongues like swords. They shoot bitter words like arrows.
64:4  They hide and shoot at innocent people. They shoot suddenly and are not afraid.
64:5  They encourage each other to do wrong. They talk about setting traps. They think no one will see them.
64:6  They plan wicked things and say, “We have a perfect plan.” The mind of man is hard to understand.
64:7  But God will shoot them with arrows. They will suddenly be struck down.
64:8  Their own words will be used against them. All who see them will shake their heads.
64:9  Then everyone will fear God. They will tell what God has done. They will learn from what he has done.
64:10  Good people will be happy in the Lord. They will find protection in him. Let everyone who is honest praise the Lord.
