Psalm 64
Legacy Standard Bible

The Righteous Will Be Glad in Yahweh

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

64 Hear my voice, O God, in (A)my [a]complaint;
(B)Guard my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the (C)secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of the (D)workers of iniquity,
3 Who (E)have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They (F)aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
4 To (G)shoot [b]from places of hiding at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and (H)do not fear.
5 They [c]hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They [d]talk of (I)laying snares secretly;
They say, “(J)Who can see them?”
6 They searched out unrighteousness, saying,
“We have completed a diligent search”;
For the [e](K)inward thought of a man and his heart are [f]deep.

7 But (L)God [g]will shoot them with an arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.
8 So [h]they will (M)cause their own tongue (N)to turn against them;
All who see them will (O)shake their head.
9 Then all men [i]will (P)fear,
And they [j]will (Q)declare the work of God,
And [k]will consider [l]what He has done.
10 The righteous man will be (R)glad in Yahweh and will (S)take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.

诗篇 64
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

祈求上帝的保护

大卫作的诗，交给乐长。

64 上帝啊，求你倾听我的苦诉，
求你保护我的性命不受仇敌的威胁。
2 求你保护我免遭恶人的谋害，
使我脱离不法之徒。
3 他们舌头锋利如刀，
言语恶毒如箭穿心。
4 他们埋伏起来，
暗箭伤害纯全无过的人。
他们突然袭击，毫无顾忌。
5 他们狼狈为奸，
商量暗设网罗，
以为谁也看不见。
6 他们图谋不义之事，
认为策划得无懈可击。
人心真是狡猾。
7 但上帝必用箭射他们，
将他们突然射倒在地。
8 他们必自作自受，
被自己的舌头所害。
看见的人都嘲笑他们。
9 这样，人人必敬畏上帝，
传扬祂奇妙的作为，
思想祂所做的事。
10 义人必因耶和华而欢欣，
并且投靠祂，
心地正直的人必赞美祂。

Psalm 64
New International Version

Psalm 64[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

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

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.

7 But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
8 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)
9 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)
