The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him

 Psalm 64:1-10

Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

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

But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down. He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn. All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.

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

V1-6 the psalmist pictures his trouble. V7-9 he expresses his certainty that God will punish all who plot and scheme and slander. The punishment will fit the offense exactly.

Why?

Enemies hiding their snares and evil plan, they thought it is perfect plan, but God will destroy them and let them fall in their snare.

All people should fear the Lord and will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done. Like COVID-19 has God's plan in it.

The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him.

There word like the arrow to attack others. Their mind is deep means evil and craft.

Psalmist has faith in the Lord and trust in God's way.

v1-2 哀歎苦惱的時候。如果能將他隱藏起來就好。

v4-6 他們用突襲的方式，且人數眾多且有組織、計劃的。他們之間彼此勉勵。

v7-10 最後這些都不敵神的一揮。忽然、被自己的箭所害。原來苦毒的言語反而刺向自己。前後兩個忽然，忽然得人射他，他們忽然被箭所傷。相對的對比度。人要為自己的惡所傷。為自己所行的付出代價。

10 最後是歡喜快樂、誇口。雖然現在還沒有實現，但是現在就可以歡喜快樂。

Trust in the Lord Almighty! God will make it perfect!
