Psalm 64
Vers 1
Heed my complaint, O God, and hear me
Save me from all my enemies;
hide me from their conspiracies,
from noisy mobs that make me weary.
O God, be near me!
Vers 2
Their tongues the sharpest swords resemble;
a deadly dart is every word
as boldly, by no fear deterred,
they strike the blameless and the humble
to make them stumble.
Vers 3
They hatch their schemes for my destruction
and cunningly conceal their snare.
“No one will see it,” they declare
and with their smug self-satisfaction
boast of their action.
Vers 4
But God will shoot them with his arrow,
and their own tongues will bring them shame.
Many will shake their heads at them;
their downfall will be quick and thorough,
much to their sorrow.
Vers 5
Then all will fear our great defender;
they will God’s mighty deeds proclaim
and, praising his exalted name,
will stand in awe as they all ponder
his works of wonder.
Vers 6
Come, praise the LORD for his salvation!
Let all the just in him delight;
let them seek refuge in his might
and thank him for their preservation
with jubilation.
