64:1   (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Listen to my concerns, God, and protect me from my terrible enemies.

64:2   Keep me safe from secret plots of corrupt and evil gangs.

64:3   Their words cut like swords, and their cruel remarks sting like sharp arrows.

64:4   They fearlessly ambush and shoot innocent people.

64:5   They are determined to do evil, and they tell themselves, "Let's set traps! No one can see us."

64:6   They make evil plans and say, "We'll commit a perfect crime. No one knows our thoughts."

64:7   But God will shoot his arrows and quickly wound them.

64:8   They will be destroyed by their own words, and everyone who sees them will tremble with fear.

64:9   They will be afraid and say, "Look at what God has done and keep it all in mind."

64:10   May the LORD bless his people with peace and happiness and let them celebrate.
