Psalm 64
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 64
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 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.
Psalm 64
New King James Version
Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my [a]meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
(A)And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
(B)They say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
(C)All who see them shall flee away.
9 All men shall fear,
And shall (D)declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
10 (E)The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.

Psalm 64
Modern English Version
Psalm 64
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
guard my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked,
from the throng of the workers of iniquity;
3 they sharpen their tongue like a sword,
and bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 that they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They harden themselves in an evil matter;
they talk privately of laying snares;
they say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise injustice,
saying “We have perfected a secret plot.”
Both the inward thought of man and the heart are deep.
7 But God will suddenly shoot them with an arrow;
they will be wounded.
8 They will bring ruin on themselves
by their own tongues;
all who see them will flee away.
9 All people will fear,
and declare the work of God;
they will wisely consider His deeds.
10 The righteous will be glad in the Lord,
and seek refuge in Him,
and all the upright in heart will glory.
Salmos 64
Reina-Valera 1960
Plegaria pidiendo protección contra enemigos ocultos
Al músico principal. Salmo de David.
64 Escucha, oh Dios, la voz de mi queja;
Guarda mi vida del temor del enemigo.
2 Escóndeme del consejo secreto de los malignos,
De la conspiración de los que hacen iniquidad,
3 Que afilan como espada su lengua;
Lanzan cual saeta suya, palabra amarga,
4 Para asaetear a escondidas al íntegro;
De repente lo asaetean, y no temen.
5 Obstinados en su inicuo designio,
Tratan de esconder los lazos,
Y dicen: ¿Quién los ha de ver?
6 Inquieren iniquidades, hacen una investigación exacta;
Y el íntimo pensamiento de cada uno de ellos, así como su corazón, es profundo.
7 Mas Dios los herirá con saeta;
De repente serán sus plagas.
8 Sus propias lenguas los harán caer;
Se espantarán todos los que los vean.
9 Entonces temerán todos los hombres,
Y anunciarán la obra de Dios,
Y entenderán sus hechos.
10 Se alegrará el justo en Jehová, y confiará en él;
Y se gloriarán todos los rectos de corazón.
