תהילים 64

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

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 תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

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

3 אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽר׃

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

4 לִירוֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּ׃

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

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

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

6 יַֽחְפְּֽשׂוּ־עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽק׃

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

7 וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃

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

8 וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדֲדוּ כָּל־רֹאֵה בָֽם׃

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

9 וַיִּֽירְאוּ כָּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

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

10 יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק בַּיהוָה וְחָסָה בוֹ וְיִתְהַֽלְלוּ כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

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