Psalm 64

¹ God, listen to my complaint.
I am afraid of my enemies;
protect my life from them.
² Hide me from those who plan wicked things,
from that gang who does evil.
³ They sharpen their tongues like swords
and shoot bitter words like arrows.
⁴ From their hiding places they shoot at innocent people;
they shoot suddenly and are not afraid.
⁵ They encourage each other to do wrong.
They talk about setting traps,
thinking no one will see them.
⁶ They plan wicked things and say,
"We have a perfect plan."
The mind of human beings is hard to understand.

⁷ But God will shoot them with arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
⁸ Their own words will be used against them.
All who see them will shake their heads.
⁹ Then everyone will fear God.
They will tell what God has done,
and they will learn from what he has done.
¹⁰ Good people will be happy in the Lord
and will find protection in him.
Let everyone who is honest praise the Lord.~NCV Pin It Now!
