64 Hear my voice, God, in my complaint.
    Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
² Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
    from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
³ who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
    and aim their arrows, deadly words,
⁴     to shoot innocent men from ambushes.
    They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
⁵ They encourage themselves in evil plans.
    They talk about laying snares secretly.
    They say, “Who will see them?”
⁶ They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!”
    Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
⁷ But God will shoot at them.
    They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
⁸ Their own tongues shall ruin them.
    All who see them will shake their heads.
⁹ All mankind shall be afraid.
    They shall declare the work of God,
    and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
¹⁰ The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh,
    and shall take refuge in him.
    All the upright in heart shall praise him!
