Psalms 64

1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Hear O God voice my in complaint my from dread of an enemy you will preserve life my.

For the leader. A psalm of David. Hear, O my God, the voice of my lament: guard my life from the dread of the foe.

2 You will hide me from [the] secret counsel of evil-doers from [the] unrest of [those who] do wickedness.

Hide me from villains who secretly plot, from the blustering throng of the workers of evil,

3 Who they sharpen like sword tongue their they bend arrow their a word bitter.

who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed bitter words like arrows,

4 To shoot in secret places [the] blameless suddenly they shoot at him and not they are afraid.

which from ambush they launch at the blameless, shooting swiftly and unafraid.

5 They strengthen for themselves - a matter evil they speak to hide snares they say who? will he see them.

They strengthen their wicked purpose, they tell of the snares they have hidden, they say to themselves, “Who can see?”

6 They plot injustice we have finished a plot plotted and [the] inner being of a person and [the] heart [is] deep.

They think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.

7 And he shot at them God an arrow suddenly they will be wounds their.

But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.

8 And they caused to stumble him [is] on them tongue their they will shudder every [one who] looks on them.

For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.

9 And they were afraid all humankind and they declared [the] deed[s] of God and work his they will consider.

Then every person, touched to awe, as they ponder what God has wrought, will tell the tale of his deeds.

10 Let him rejoice [the] righteous in Yahweh and he will take refuge in him and let them boast all [people] upright of heart.

In the Lord shall the righteous rejoice, in him shall they take refuge; and all the true-hearted shall glory.
