Psalm 64

PROTECTION FROM EVILDOERS

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

God, hear my voice when I am in anguish.ae

Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.af

Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,ag

from the mob of evildoers,ah

who sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim bitter words like arrows,ai

shooting from concealed places at the blameless.

They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.aj

They adoptD an evil plan;

they talk about hiding traps and say,

“Who will see them?”A,a

They devise crimes and say,

“We have perfected a secret plan.”b

The inner man and the heart are mysterious*.

But God will shoot them with arrows;

suddenly, they will be wounded.c

They will be made to stumble;

their own tongues work against them.

All who see them will shake their heads.d

Then everyone will fear

and will tell about God’s work,

for they will understand what he has done.e

10 The righteous one rejoices in the Lord

and takes refuge in him;

all those who are upright in heart

will offer praise.f

About Christian Standard Bible

The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others.

The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today.

The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths.

The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible.
