Psalm 64 - Day 64

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

^[a]1 Hear me, my 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 the plots of evildoers.
³ They sharpen their tongues like swords
   and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
⁴ They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
   they shoot suddenly, without fear.

⁵ They encourage each other in evil plans,
   they talk about hiding their snares;
   they say, “Who will see it^[b]?”
⁶ They plot injustice and say,
   “We have devised a perfect plan!”
   Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

⁷ But God will shoot them with his arrows;
   they will suddenly 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 people will fear;
   they will proclaim the works of God
   and ponder what he has done.

¹⁰ The righteous will rejoice in the LORD
   and take refuge in him;
   all the upright in heart will glory in him!

The Lord IS on our side. He will never leave us out to be taken. We just need to ask Him to protect us and help guide us to not be in the paths of the wicked because when they attack, they have no mercy. This is a prayer I long for my son. For him to be guarded against the wrong doings of this world. I think it's every parent's desire.
