Psalms 64

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

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

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

اسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ الأَشْرَارِ، مِنْ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ،

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

الَّذِينَ صَقَلُوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَالسَّيْفِ. فَوَّقُوا سَهْمَهُمْ كَلاَمًا مُرًّا،

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

لِيَرْمُوا الْكَامِلَ فِي الْمُخْتَفَى بَغْتَةً. يَرْمُونَهُ وَلاَ يَخْشَوْنَ.

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

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

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

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

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

فَيَرْمِيهِمِ اللهُ بِسَهْمٍ. بَغْتَةً كَانَتْ ضَرْبَتُهُمْ.

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

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

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

وَيَخْشَى كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُخْبِرُ بِفِعْلِ اللهِ، وَبِعَمَلِهِ يَفْطَنُونَ.

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

يَفْرَحُ الصِّدِّيقُ بِالرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ كُلُّ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ.
