Psalms 64
Psalm 64
The Righteous Will Be Glad in Yahweh
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my voice, O God, in my ▼▼Or concern
complaint;Guard my life from dread of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of the workers of iniquity,
3Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
4To shoot ▼
▼Lit in
from places of hiding at the blameless;Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
5They ▼
▼Lit make firm
hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;They ▼
▼Lit recount
talk of laying snares secretly;They say, “Who can see them?”
6They searched out unrighteousness, saying,
“We have completed a diligent search”;
For the ▼
▼Or inward part
inward thought of a man and his heart are ▼▼Or unsearchable
deep.7But God ▼
▼Or shot
will shoot them with an arrow;Suddenly they will be wounded.
8So ▼
▼Or they make their tongue a stumbling for themselves
they will cause their own tongue to turn against them;All who see them will shake their head.
9Then all men ▼
▼Or feared
will fear,And they ▼
▼Or declared
will declare the work of God,And ▼
▼Or considered
will consider ▼▼Lit His work
what He has done.10The righteous man will be glad in Yahweh and will take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
