Psalm 64
CSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1God, hear my voice when I am in anguish. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.1Hear, God, as I express my concern; protect me from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers,2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the mob of those who practice evil,
3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,3who sharpen their tongues like swords, and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.4shooting at the innocent from concealment. Suddenly they shoot, fearing nothing.
5They adopt an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, "Who will see them?"5They concoct an evil scheme for themselves; they enumerate their hidden snares; they say, "Who will see them?"
6They devise crimes and say, "We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious.6They devise wicked schemes, saying, "We have completed our plans, hiding them deep in our hearts."
7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.7But God shot an arrow at them, and they were wounded immediately.
8They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.8They tripped over their own tongues, and everyone who was watching ran away.
9Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what he has done.9Everyone was gripped with fear and acknowledged God's deeds, understanding what he had done.
10The righteous one rejoices in the LORD and takes refuge in him; all those who are upright in heart will offer praise.10The righteous rejoiced in the LORD, because they had fled to him for refuge. Let all the upright in heart exult.
