Psalm 64
Protection from Evildoers
For the choir director. A psalm of David.
Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.64:1 Ps 140:1
3who sharpen their tongues like swords
4shooting from concealed places at the blameless.
5They adopt64:5 Or They strengthen themselves with an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
6They devise crimes and say,
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.64:6 Ps 94:11; Pr 20:5; Jr 17:9–10
7But God will shoot them with arrows;
8They will be made to stumble;
their own tongues work against them.
9Then everyone will fear
and will tell about God’s work,
for they will understand what he has done.64:9 Ps 40:3
10The righteous one rejoices in the Lord
and takes refuge in him;
all those who are upright in heart
