David wrote this song for the music leader.

God will keep us safe[a]

64 God, please listen to me
    as I tell you about my troubles.
Keep me safe from my enemies
    when they attack me.
When evil men think of ways to hurt me,
    hide me in a safe place.
Those people work together as a group
    to do wicked things.
Their tongues are like
    sharp swords that hurt people.
Their cruel words are like
    arrows that they shoot at people.
