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!

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.
2 O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
3 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
4 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
5 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
6 wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.
7 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
8 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
9 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
10 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
11 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
13 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
14 The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
