Psalms 64:1-6

11God, please listen to me as I tell you about my troubles. Keep me safe from my enemies when they attack me.

2When 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.

3Their tongues are like sharp swords that hurt people. Their cruel words are like arrows that they shoot at people.

4They hide in secret places, and they quickly shoot lies at good people. They are not afraid that anyone will punish them.

5They help each other to do evil things. They decide where they will hide their traps, and they say, ‘Nobody will see them!’

6They think of wicked ideas to hurt people. They say, ‘That is a great idea!’ Nobody really understands what people think deep inside themselves.
