Psalm 64
For the music leader. A psalm of David.
64 Listen to me when I complain, God!
Protect my life from the enemy’s terror!
2 Hide me from the secret plots of wicked people;
hide me from the schemes of evildoers
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords.
They aim their arrow—a cruel word—
4 from their hiding places
so as to shoot an innocent person.
They shoot without warning and without fear.
5 They encourage themselves with evil words.
They plan on laying traps in secret.
“Who will be able to see them?” they ask.
6 “Let someone try to expose our crimes!
We’ve devised a perfect plot!
It’s deep within the human mind and heart.”[a]
7 But God will shoot them with an arrow!
Without warning, they will be wounded!
8 The Lord will make them trip over their own tongues;
everyone who sees them will just shake their heads.
9 Then all people will honor God,
will announce the act of God,
will understand it was God’s work.
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord;
let them take refuge in him;
let everyone whose heart is in the right place give praise!

诗篇 64
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈求 神拯救脫離仇敵陰謀
大衛的詩，交給詩班長。
64 神啊！我哀訴的時候，求你垂聽我的聲音；
求你保護我的性命，脫離仇敵的恐嚇。
2 求你把我隱藏，使我脫離惡人的陰謀，
脫離作孽的人的擾亂。
3 他們磨快自己的舌頭，如同刀劍；
他們吐出惡毒的言語，好像利箭，
4 要在暗地裡射殺完全的人；
他們忽然射殺他，毫不懼怕。
5 他們彼此鼓勵，設下惡計，
商議暗設網羅，說：
“誰能看見它們呢？”
6 他們圖謀奸惡，說：
“我們設計了最精密的陰謀！”
人的意念和心思實在深不可測。
7 但 神要用箭射他們，
他們必忽然受傷。
8 他們各人反被自己的舌頭所害，必然跌倒；
所有看見他們的，都必搖頭。
9 眾人都要懼怕，
要傳揚 神的作為，
並且要思想他所作的事。
10 願義人因耶和華歡喜，並且投靠他；
願所有心裡正直的人，都因他誇耀。

Psalm 64[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy(C) of the wicked,(D)
from the plots of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords(E)
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.(F)
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;(G)
they shoot suddenly, without fear.(H)
5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;(I)
they say, “Who will see it[b]?”(J)
6 They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

Psalm 64
King James Version
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 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.
