Psalms 64 EASY

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

2. When 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.

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

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

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

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

7. But God will punish them! He will suddenly shoot an arrow at them and it will hurt them a lot.

8. Their own evil words will turn against them and make them fall. Everyone who sees them will shake their heads.

9. People will be afraid. They will say, ‘Look at what God has done!’ They will think carefully about it all.

10. But 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!
