Psalms 64:1-10
[1]I am in trouble, God — listen to my prayer! I am afraid of my enemies — save my life!
[2]Protect me from the plots of the wicked, from evil mobs.
[3]They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like arrows.
[4]They are quick to spread their shameless lies; they destroy good people with cowardly slander.
[5]They encourage each other in their evil plots; they plan where to place their traps. “No one can see them,” they say.
[6]They make evil plans and say, “We have planned a perfect crime.” The human heart and mind are a mystery.
[7]But God shoots his arrows at them, and suddenly they are wounded.
[8]He will destroy them because of those words; all who see them will shake their heads.
[9]They will all be afraid; they will think about what God has done and tell about his deeds.
[10]All righteous people will rejoice because of what the Lord has done. They will find safety in him; all good people will praise him.
