Psa 64:1
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
Hear H8085 my voice H6963, O God H430, in my [fn]complaint H7879;
Guard H5341 my life H2416 from dread H6343 of the enemy H340.
Psa 64:2
Hide H5641 me from the secret H5475 counsel H5475 of evildoers H7489,
From the tumult H7285 of the workers H6466 of iniquity H205,
Psa 64:3
Who H834 have sharpened H8150 their tongue H3956 like a sword H2719.
They aimed H1869 bitter H4751 speech H1697 as their arrow H2671,
Psa 64:4
To shoot H3384 [fn]from places H4565 of hiding H4565 at the blameless H8535;
Suddenly H6597 they shoot H3384 at him, and do not fear H3372.
Psa 64:5
They [fn]hold H2388 fast H2388 to themselves an evil H7451 purpose H1697;
They [fn]talk H5608 of laying H2934 snares H4170 secretly H2934;
They say H559, “Who H4310 can see H7200 them?”
Psa 64:6
They searched H2664 out H2664 unrighteousness H5766, saying,
“We have completed H8552 a diligent H2664 search H2665”;
For the [fn]inward H7130 thought H7130 of a man H376 and his heart H3820 are [fn]deep H6013.
Psa 64:7
But God H430 [fn]will shoot H3384 them with an arrow H2671;
Suddenly H6597 they will be wounded H4347.
Psa 64:8
So [fn]they will cause H3782 their own tongue H3956 to turn H3782 against H5921 them;
All H3605 who see H7200 them will shake H5110 their head H5110.
Psa 64:9
Then all H3605 men H120 [fn]will fear H3372,
And they [fn]will declare H5046 the work H6467 of God H430,
And [fn]will consider H7919 [fn]what H4639 He has done H4639.
Psa 64:10
The righteous H6662 man H6662 will be H8055 glad H8055 in Yahweh H3068 and will take H2620 refuge H2620 in Him;
And all H3605 the upright H3477 in heart H3820 will boast H1984.
