תהילים 64

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ שְׁמַע־אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי בְשִׂיחִי מִפַּחַד אוֹיֵב תִּצֹּר חַיָּֽי׃

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

2 תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

3 אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּֽרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽר׃

who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

4 לִירֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּ׃

ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

5 יְחַזְּקוּ־לָמוֹ ׀ דָּבָר רָע יְֽסַפְּרוּ לִטְמוֹן מוֹקְשִׁים אָמְרוּ מִי יִרְאֶה־לָּֽמוֹ׃

They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

6 יַחְפְּֽשׂוּ עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽק׃

They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

7 וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃

But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

8 וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדְדוּ כׇּל־רֹאֵה בָֽם׃

They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

9 וַיִּֽירְאוּ כׇּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

10 יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק בַּיהֹוָה וְחָסָה בוֹ וְיִתְהַלְלוּ כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
