Psalms 64

1 to/for to conduct melody to/for David to hear: hear God voice my in/on/with complaint my from dread enemy to watch life my

For the leader. A psalm of David. Hear, O my God, the voice of my lament: guard my life from the dread of the foe.

2 to hide me from counsel be evil from scheming to work evil: wickedness

Hide me from villains who secretly plot, from the blustering throng of the workers of evil,

3 which to sharpen like/as sword tongue their to tread arrow their word bitter

who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed bitter words like arrows,

4 to/for to shoot in/on/with hiding complete suddenly to shoot him and not to fear

which from ambush they launch at the blameless, shooting swiftly and unafraid.

5 to strengthen: hold to/for them word: deed bad: evil to recount to/for to hide snare to say who? to see: see to/for them

They strengthen their wicked purpose, they tell of the snares they have hidden, they say to themselves, ‘Who can see?’

6 to search injustice to finish plot to search and entrails: inner parts man and heart deep

They think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.

7 and to shoot them God arrow suddenly to be wound their

But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.

8 and to stumble him upon them tongue their to wander all to see: see in/on/with them

For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.

9 and to fear: revere all man and to tell work God and deed: work his be prudent

Then every person, touched to awe, as they ponder what God has wrought, will tell the tale of his deeds.

10 to rejoice righteous in/on/with LORD and to seek refuge in/on/with him and to boast: boast all upright heart

In the Lord shall the righteous rejoice, in him shall they take refuge; and all the true-hearted shall glory.
