Psalms 64
Prayer for Rescue from Secret Enemies.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my voice, God, in amy ▼
▼Or concern
complaint; cProtect my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the dsecret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of ethe workers of injustice,
3 Who fhave sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They gaimed bitter speech as their arrows,
4 To hshoot ▼
▼Lit in
from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and jdo not fear.
5 They make firm for themselves an evil ▼
▼Lit matter
purpose; They ▼
▼Lit tell of
talk of msetting snares secretly; They say, “ nWho can see them?”
6 They ▼
▼Or search out
devise injustices, saying, “We are ▼
▼Lit complete
ready with a well-conceived plot”; For the ▼
▼Or inward part
rinward thought and the heart of a person are ▼▼Or unsearchable
deep. 7 But tGod ▼
▼Or shot
will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly ▼
▼Or they were wounded; lit their wounds occurred
they will be wounded. 8 So ▼
▼Or they make their tongue a stumbling for themselves
they ▼▼Or made
will ymake him stumble; zTheir own tongue is against them;
All who see them will aashake their heads.
9 Then all people ▼
▼Or feared
will acfear, And they ▼
▼Or declared
will aedeclare the work of God, And ▼
▼Or considered
will consider ▼▼Lit His work
what He has done. 10 The righteous person will be ahglad in the Lord and aitake refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
