| Psa. 64:1 |
Hear, O God, my voice in my complaint; / Preserve my life from the enemy's dread. |
| Psa. 64:2 |
Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, / From the throng of the workers of iniquity, |
| Psa. 64:3 |
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, / [Who] have aimed their arrow, [their] bitter word, |
| Psa. 64:4 |
To shoot in secret places at the perfect man. / They shoot suddenly at him and do not fear. |
| Psa. 64:5 |
They firm up for themselves an evil matter; / They talk of laying snares secretly; / They say, Who will see them? |
| Psa. 64:6 |
They seek out injustices, [saying:] / We have completed a carefully sought-out plan. / Indeed each man's inward thought / And heart are deep. |
| Psa. 64:7 |
But God will shoot an arrow at them; / Suddenly they are wounded. |
| Psa. 64:8 |
They are made to stumble over each other by their own tongue; / All who see them shake their heads. |
| Psa. 64:9 |
And all men will fear / And declare what has been done by God, / And they will ponder His work. |
| Psa. 64:10 |
The righteous man will rejoice in Jehovah and take refuge in Him, / And all the upright in heart will boast. |
