תהילים 64

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

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Hear, O God, my voice when I complain, From dread peril by the foe, wilt thou guard my life.

2 תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

3 אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּֽרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽר׃

Who have sharpened, like a sword, their tongue, Have made ready their arrow—a bitter word;

4 לִירֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּ׃

To shoot, in secret places, at the blameless one, Suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can see them?

6 יַחְפְּֽשׂוּ עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽק׃

They devise perverse things, They have completed the device well devised, Both the intent of each one, and the mind, are unsearchable.

7 וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃

Once let God have shot at them an arrow, Suddenly have appeared their own wounds!

8 וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדְדוּ כׇּל־רֹאֵה בָֽם׃

When they were to have ruined another, their tongue smote themselves, All who observe them take flight.

9 וַיִּֽירְאוּ כׇּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

Therefore have all men feared, —And have told the doing of God, And, his work, have considered.

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

The righteous man shall rejoice in Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory—all who are upright in heart.
