64:1  Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

64:2  Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity,

64:3  Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

64:4  To shoot from concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

64:5  They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, " Who can see them?"

64:6  They devise injustices, saying, "We stand ready with a well-conceived plot"; For the inward thought and the heart of a man seem deep.

64:7  But God will shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they will suffer wounds.

64:8  So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue speaks against them; All who see them will shake the head.

64:9  Then all men will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.

64:10  The righteous man will have gladness in the LORD and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.
