Psalms 64
64
Victory over Evildoers
For the Pure and Shining One
King David’s song
1-2Lord, can’t you hear my cry, my bitter complaint?
Keep me safe from this band of criminals and
from the conspiracy of these wicked men.
They gather in their secret counsel to destroy me.
3-4Can’t you hear their slander, their lies?
Their words are like poison-tipped arrows
shot from the shadows.
They are unafraid and have no fear of consequences.
5They persist with their evil plans
and plot together to hide their traps.
They boast, “No one can see us or stop us!”
6They search out opportunities to pervert justice
as they plan the “perfect crime.”
How unsearchable is their endless evil!
They try desperately to hide the deep darkness of their hearts. # 64:6 Scholars are unanimous in agreement that the meaning of the Hebrew text of this verse is uncertain.
7But all the while God has his own fire-tipped arrows!
Suddenly, without warning,
they will be pierced and struck down.
8Staggering backward, they will be destroyed
by the very ones they spoke against.
All who see this will view them with scorn.
9Then all will stand awestruck over what God has done,
seeing how he vindicated the victims of these crimes.
10The lovers of God will be glad, rejoicing in the Lord.
They will be found in his glorious wraparound presence,
singing songs of praise to God!

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.
