1(64) For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.
1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
3who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;
3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
4to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.
4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
5They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?
5They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
6They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,
6They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
7and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,
7But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
