New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 64
1
O God (Elohim), listen to my complaint.<br>Protect my life from my enemies’ threats.<br>
2
Hide me from the plots of this evil mob,<br>from this gang of wrongdoers.<br>
3
They sharpen their tongues like swords<br>and aim their bitter words like arrows.<br>
4
They shoot from ambush at the innocent,<br>attacking suddenly and fearlessly.<br>
5
They encourage each other to do evil<br>and plan how to set their traps in secret.<br>“Who will ever notice?” they ask.<br>
6
As they plot their crimes, they say,<br>“We have devised the perfect plan!”<br>Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.<br>
7
But God (Elohim) himself will shoot them with his arrows,<br>suddenly striking them down.<br>
8
Their own tongues will ruin them,<br>and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.<br>
9
Then everyone will be afraid;<br>they will proclaim the mighty acts of God (Elohim)<br>and realize all the amazing things he does.<br>
10
The godly will rejoice in the LORD<br>and find shelter in him.<br>And those who do what is right<br>will praise him.<br>
