\c 64

\d A psalm written by David for the choir director.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things about which I am worried.
|
|
\q2 I am afraid of my enemies; please save me from them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me;
|
|
\q2 protect me from that group of men who do what is evil.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 The hostile things they say are like sharp swords;
|
|
\q2 their cruel words are like arrows.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 They are not afraid of anyone; they lie about people and slander those who have done no wrong.
|
|
\q2 They are like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots arrows at his enemies.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do;
|
|
\q2 they talk with each other about where they can set traps to catch people.
|
|
\q2 They say, "No one will see what we are doing
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 because we have planned very well the things that we are going to do."
|
|
\q2 What people can think and plan in their inner beings is truly amazing!
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 But it will be as though God will shoot his arrows at them,
|
|
\q2 and suddenly they will be wounded.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Because what they say proves they are guilty, God will get rid of them.
|
|
\q2 Everyone who sees what has happened to them will shake their heads to mock them.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Then everyone will be afraid to sin because of what might happen to them also;
|
|
\q2 they will tell others what God has done,
|
|
\q2 and they themselves will think much about it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh has done;
|
|
\q2 they should go to him to find refuge;
|
|
\q1 and all those who honor him will praise him.
