Psalm 64 (WEBP)

[1] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
[2] Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
[3] who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
[4] to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
[5] They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
[6] They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
[7] But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
[8] Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
[9] All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
[10] The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

[1] [63:1] εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ [63:2] εισακουσον ο θεος της φωνης μου εν τω δεεσθαι με απο φοβου εχθρου εξελου την ψυχην μου
[2] [63:3] εσκεπασας με απο συστροφης πονηρευομενων απο πληθους εργαζομενων την ανομιαν
