Psalms 64

PSALM 64
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1When I to thee my prayer make,
Lord, to my voice give ear;
My life save from the enemy,
of whom I stand in fear.
2Me from their secret counsel hide
who do live wickedly;
From insurrection of those men
that work iniquity:
3Who do their tongues with malice whet,
and make them cut like swords;
In whose bent bows are arrows set,
ev'n sharp and bitter words:
4That they may at the perfect man
in secret aim their shot;
Yea, suddenly they dare at him to shoot,
and fear it not.
5In ill encourage they themselves,
and their snares close do lay:
Together conference they have;
Who shall them see? they say.
6They have search'd out iniquities,
a perfect search they keep:
Of each of them the inward thought,
and very heart, is deep.
7God shall an arrow shoot at them,
and wound them suddenly:
8So their own tongue shall them confound;
all who them see shall fly.
9And on all men a fear shall fall,
God's works they shall declare;
For they shall wisely notice take
what these his doings are.
10In God the righteous shall rejoice,
and trust upon his might;
Yea, they shall greatly glory all
in heart that are upright.

Tehillim (Psalms) 64
64
1Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my meditation; Guard my life from the threats of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret plans of the evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of wickedness,
3Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And aim their arrows, a bitter word,
4To shoot in ambush at someone blameless, They shoot at him suddenly and do not fear.
5They arm themselves with an evil word; They talk of hiding snares; They have said, “Who sees them?”
6They search out unrighteousnesses, “We have perfected a well searched out plan.” For the inward part of man, and heart, are deep.
7But Elohim does shoot at them with an arrow; Their wounds shall be sudden.
8And they cause one to stumble, Their own tongue is against them; All who see them flee away.
9And all men fear, And declare the work of Elohim. And they shall wisely consider What He has done.
10The righteous rejoice in יהוה, And shall take refuge in Him, And all the upright in heart praise Him.
