Psalm 64 In Hebrew texts 64:1-10 is numbered 64:2-11. ¹ For the director of music. A psalm of David. Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

² Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.

³ They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.

⁴ They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.

⁵ They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it Or us ?”

⁶ They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

⁷ But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.

⁸ He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

⁹ All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done. ¹⁰ The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!
