Shared Word Translation
Psalm 64
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers,
from the tumult of workers of iniquity,
who sharpen their tongue like a sword
and aim their arrows—bitter words
to shoot in secret at the blameless;
suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
They hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, “Who will see them?”
They devise injustices, saying, “We have perfected a secret plan.”
Both the inner thought and the heart of a person are deep.
But God will shoot at them with an arrow;
suddenly they will be wounded.
They will be made to stumble, their own tongue against them;
all who see them will shake their heads.
Then all people will fear;
they will declare the work of God,
and will consider what He has done.
The righteous will rejoice in LORD and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory.
