Psalm 64

In connection with the recent bombing here in Cotabato City and elsewhere in Mindanao and all over the world, I would like to reprint......... Psalm 64.

Hear , O God, my voice as I plead, protect my life from the enemy's threat.
Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the corrupt designs of evil plotters,
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows, 
shooting at the innocent from cover, shooting suddenly without fear.

They do not relinquish their evil plan, they conspire to lay snares, saying,
"No one will see us." So they contrive a wicked scheme, and hide the plot they hatch.
How cunning the human mind and heart!

But God will shoot his arrows at them; suddenly they will be struck down and brought to ruin by their own tongue; all who see them will shake their heads.
Humankind will stand in awe; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder on his deeds.
The upright will rejoice and take refuge in the Lord; the upright of heart will glory in him.
