求主保護脫離暗中之敵

64 大衛的詩,交於伶長。

神啊,我哀嘆的時候,求你聽我的聲音。求你保護我的性命,不受仇敵的驚恐。
求你把我隱藏,使我脫離作惡之人的暗謀和作孽之人的擾亂。
他們磨舌如刀,發出苦毒的言語,好像比準了的箭,
要在暗地射完全人。他們忽然射他,並不懼怕。
他們彼此勉勵設下惡計,他們商量暗設網羅,說:「誰能看見?」
他們圖謀奸惡,說:「我們是極力圖謀的!」他們各人的意念心思是深的。
但神要射他們,他們忽然被箭射傷。
他們必然絆跌,被自己的舌頭所害,凡看見他們的必都搖頭。
眾人都要害怕,要傳揚神的工作,並且明白他的作為。
10 義人必因耶和華歡喜,並要投靠他。凡心裡正直的人,都要誇口。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalm 64[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;(A)
    protect my life from the threat of the enemy.(B)

Hide me from the conspiracy(C) of the wicked,(D)
    from the plots of evildoers.
They sharpen their tongues like swords(E)
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.(F)
They shoot from ambush at the innocent;(G)
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.(H)

They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;(I)
    they say, “Who will see it[b]?”(J)
They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
He will turn their own tongues against them(K)
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads(L) in scorn.(M)
All people will fear;(N)
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.(O)

10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord(P)
    and take refuge in him;(Q)
    all the upright in heart will glory in him!(R)
