64:1   I am in trouble, God---listen to my prayer! I am afraid of my enemies---save my life!

64:2   Protect me from the plots of the wicked, from mobs of evil people.

64:3   They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like arrows.

64:4   They are quick to spread their shameless lies; they destroy good people with cowardly slander.

64:5   They encourage each other in their evil plots; they talk about where they will place their traps. "No one can see them," they say.

64:6   They make evil plans and say, "We have planned a perfect crime." The human heart and mind are a mystery.

64:7   But God shoots his arrows at them, and suddenly they are wounded.

64:8   He will destroy them because of those words; all who see them will shake their heads.

64:9   They will all be afraid; they will think about what God has done and tell about his deeds.

64:10   All righteous people will rejoice because of what the LORD has done. They will find safety in him; all good people will praise him.
