Psalms 64

اِسْتَمِعْ يَا اَللهُ صَوْتِي فِي شَكْوَايَ. مِنْ خَوْفِ الْعَدُوِّ احْفَظْ حَيَاتِي.

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

اسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ الأَشْرَارِ، مِنْ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ،

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

الَّذِينَ صَقَلُوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَالسَّيْفِ. فَوَّقُوا سَهْمَهُمْ كَلاَمًا مُرًّا،

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

لِيَرْمُوا الْكَامِلَ فِي الْمُخْتَفَى بَغْتَةً. يَرْمُونَهُ وَلاَ يَخْشَوْنَ.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

يُشَدِّدُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لأَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ. يَتَحَادَثُونَ بِطَمْرِ فِخَاخٍ. قَالُوا: «مَنْ يَرَاهُمْ؟ ».

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

يَخْتَرِعُونَ إِثْمًا، تَمَّمُوا اخْتِرَاعًا مُحْكَمًا. وَدَاخِلُ الإِنْسَانِ وَقَلْبُهُ عَمِيقٌ.

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

فَيَرْمِيهِمِ اللهُ بِسَهْمٍ. بَغْتَةً كَانَتْ ضَرْبَتُهُمْ.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

وَيُوقِعُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ. يُنْغِضُ الرَّأْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

وَيَخْشَى كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُخْبِرُ بِفِعْلِ اللهِ، وَبِعَمَلِهِ يَفْطَنُونَ.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

يَفْرَحُ الصِّدِّيقُ بِالرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ كُلُّ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
