Psalm 64

Protection from Evildoers

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

1God, hear my voice when I am in anguish.#Ps 55:2

Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.#Ps 140:1

2Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,#Ps 35:20; 37:12

from the mob of evildoers,#Ps 22:16; 26:5

3who sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim bitter words like arrows,#Ps 52:2; 57:4; Pr 25:18

4shooting from concealed places at the blameless.

They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.#Ps 10:8; 11:2

5They adopt#64:5 Or They strengthen themselves with an evil plan;

they talk about hiding traps and say,

“Who will see them?” #64:5 Or it#Ps 35:7; 140:5; 141:9; Is 29:15

6They devise crimes and say,

“We have perfected a secret plan.”#Ps 21:11; 83:3

The inner man and the heart are mysterious.#Ps 94:11; Pr 20:5; Jr 17:9–10

7But God will shoot them with arrows;

suddenly, they will be wounded.#Ps 7:13; 45:5; 144:6

8They will be made to stumble;

their own tongues work against them.

All who see them will shake their heads.#Jr 18:16; 48:27; Lm 2:15

9Then everyone will fear

and will tell about God’s work,

for they will understand what he has done.#Ps 40:3

10The righteous one rejoices in the Lord

and takes refuge in him;

all those who are upright in heart

will offer praise.#Ps 32:11; 68:3; 97:11–12
