Psalms 64

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.

למנצח מזמור לדוד ב שמע-אלהים קולי בשיחי מפחד אויב תצר חיי

2 You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.

תסתירני מסוד מרעים מרגשת פעלי און

3 For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,

אשר שננו כחרב לשונם דרכו חצם דבר מר

4 so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.

לירת במסתרים תם פתאם ירהו ולא ייראו

5 They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, “Who will see them?”

יחזקו-למו דבר רע-- יספרו לטמון מוקשים אמרו מי יראה-למו

6 They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,

יחפשו עולת-- תמנו חפש מחפש וקרב איש ולב עמק

7 and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,

וירם אלהים חץ פתאום--היו מכותם

8 and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;

ויכשילוהו עלימו לשונם יתנדדו כל-ראה בם

9 and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.

וייראו כל-אדם ויגידו פעל אלהים ומעשהו השכילו

10 The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.

ישמח צדיק ביהוה וחסה בו ויתהללו כל-ישרי-לב
