Psalms 64 - EasyEnglish Bible 2024（EASY）

Psalm 64David wrote this song for the music leader.God keeps his people safe

1God, 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.

7But God will punish them!

He will suddenly shoot an arrow at them

and it will hurt them a lot.

8Their own evil words will turn against them

and make them fall.

Everyone who sees them will shake their heads.

9People will be afraid.

They will say, ‘Look at what God has done!’

They will think carefully about it all.

10But people who serve the Lord should be happy

because of what he has done.

They should trust him to keep them safe.

Good, honest people should praise God,

because he is great!
