1Hear my voice, God, in my #64:1 Or concerncomplaint;

Protect my life from dread of the enemy.

3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword.

They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,

4To shoot #64:4 Lit infrom concealment at the innocent;

Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

5They make firm for themselves an evil #64:5 Lit matterpurpose;

They #64:5 Lit tell oftalk of setting snares secretly;

They say, “Who can see them?”

6They #64:6 Or search outdevise injustices, saying,

“We are #64:6 Lit completeready with a well-conceived plot”;

For the #64:6 Or inward partinward thought and the heart of a person are #64:6 Or unsearchabledeep.
