Psalms 64
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1(64-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (64-2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2(64-3) Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3(64-4) Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4(64-5) That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5(64-6) They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6(64-7) They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them , and the heart, is deep.
7(64-8) But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8(64-9) So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9(64-10) And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.
9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10(64-11) The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD , and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
