Chapter 64
Psal NETtext 64:1  For the music director; a psalm of David.Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy's terrifying attacks.
Psal NETtext 64:2  Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.
Psal NETtext 64:3  They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,
Psal NETtext 64:4  in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.
Psal NETtext 64:5  They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, "Who will see them?"
Psal NETtext 64:6  They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man's inner thoughts cannot be discovered.
Psal NETtext 64:7  But God will shoot at them; suddenly they will be wounded by an arrow.
Psal NETtext 64:8  Their slander will bring about their demise. All who see them will shudder,
Psal NETtext 64:9  and all people will fear. They will proclaim what God has done, and reflect on his deeds.
Psal NETtext 64:10  The godly will rejoice in the LORD and take shelter in him. All the morally upright will boast.
