Psalm 64 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 64 (0) For the leader. A psalm of David: 2 (1) Hear my voice, God, as I plead: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 3 (2) Hide me from the secret intrigues of the wicked and the open insurrection of evildoers. 4 (3) They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrows, poisoned words, 5 (4) in order to shoot from cover at the innocent, shooting suddenly and fearing nothing. 6 (5) They support each other’s evil plans; they talk of hiding snares and ask, “Who would see them?” 7 (6) They search for ways to commit crimes, bringing their diligent search to completion when each of them has thought it through in the depth of his heart. 8 (7) Suddenly God shoots them down with an arrow, leaving them with wounds; 9 (8) their own tongues make them stumble. All who see them shake their heads. 10 (9) Everyone is awestruck — they acknowledge that it is God at work, they understand what he has done. 11 (10) The righteous will rejoice in Adonai; they will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will exult.
