< Psalms 64 >

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ שְׁמַע־אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי בְשִׂיחִי מִפַּחַד אוֹיֵב תִּצֹּר חַיָּֽי׃
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;
תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:
אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּֽרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽר׃
4 To shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
לִירֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּ׃
5 They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?
יְחַזְּקוּ־לָמוֹ ׀ דָּבָר רָע יְֽסַפְּרוּ לִטְמוֹן מוֹקְשִׁים אָמְרוּ מִי יִרְאֶה־לָּֽמוֹ׃
6 They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].
יַחְפְּֽשׂוּ עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽק׃
7 But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.
וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃
8 And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.
וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדְדוּ כׇּל־רֹאֵה בָֽם׃
9 All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.
וַיִּֽירְאוּ כׇּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃
10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק בַּיהֹוָה וְחָסָה בוֹ וְיִתְהַלְלוּ כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
