📖 Psalms 64
-
1
For the music director; a psalm of David. Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy’s terrifying attacks.
-
2
Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.
-
3
They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,
-
4
in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.
-
5
They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast,“Who will see them?”
-
6
They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered.
-
7
But God will shoot at them; suddenly they will be wounded by an arrow.
-
8
Their slander will bring about their demise. All who see them will shudder,
-
9
and all people will fear. They will proclaim what God has done, and reflect on his deeds.
-
10
The godly will rejoice in the LORD and take shelter in him. All the morally upright will boast.
