# Psalm 64 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done. 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!
