Read A Psalm: Psalm 64

Psalm 64
For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;
    protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
    from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
    and aim their words like deadly arrows.
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;
    they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;
    they say, “Who will see them[a]?”
6 They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows;
    suddenly they will be struck down.
8 He will turn their own tongues against them
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9 All mankind will fear;
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord
    and take refuge in him;
    let all the upright in heart praise him!

Outline:
1-6 Cry for protection from evil doers
7-10 God is glorified for His rescue

Main Point:
