NRSV Psalms 64 Chapter
64:1
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the dread enemy.
64:2
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the scheming of evildoers,
64:3
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
64:4
shooting from ambush at the blameless; they shoot suddenly and without fear.
64:5
They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, "Who can see us?
64:6
Who can search out our crimes? We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot." For the human heart and mind are deep.
64:7
But God will shoot his arrow at them; they will be wounded suddenly.
64:8
Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake with horror.
64:9
Then everyone will fear; they will tell what God has brought about, and ponder what he has done.
64:10
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him. Let all the upright in heart glory.
