Psalm 64
Exaudi, Deus
1
Hear my voice, O God, when I complain;
protect my life from fear of the enemy.
2
Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the mob of evildoers.
3
They sharpen their tongue like a sword,
and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4
That they may shoot down the blameless from ambush;
they shoot without warning and are not afraid.
5
They hold fast to their evil course;
they plan how they may hide their snares.
6
They say, "Who will see us? who will find out our crimes?
we have thought out a perfect plot."
7
The human mind and heart are a mystery;
but God will loose an arrow at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8
He will make them trip over their tongues,
and all who see them will shake their heads.
9
Everyone will stand in awe and declare God's deeds;
they will recognize his works.
10
The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and put their trust in him,
and all who are true of heart will glory.
