תהילים 64

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּֽרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽר׃

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 לִירֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּ׃

to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

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

They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

6 יַחְפְּֽשׂוּ עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽק׃

They plot injustice; they hide a well-conceived plan. Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

7 וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃

But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

8 וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדְדוּ כׇּל־רֹאֵה בָֽם׃

Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

9 וַיִּֽירְאוּ כׇּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

All humankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

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

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him.
