Psalm 64
Expanded Bible
A Prayer Against Enemies
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
64 God, listen to my complaint.
·I am afraid of my enemies;
protect my life from them [L Protect my life from the dread of my enemies].
2 Hide me from ·those who plan wicked things [L the secret plans/conspiracy of the wicked],
from that ·gang [mob; restless group] who does evil [Prov. 1:8–19].
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and ·shoot [aim] bitter words like arrows.
4 From their hiding places they shoot at ·innocent [blameless] people;
they shoot suddenly and are not afraid.
5 They encourage each other to do wrong.
They talk about setting traps,
·thinking [or saying] ·no one will [L who can…?] see them.
6 They plan wicked things and say,
“We have a perfect plan.”
The ·mind [L insides and the heart/mind] of human beings is ·hard to understand [L deep].
7 But God will shoot them with arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8 Their own ·words [tongues] will ·be used against them [L make them stumble].
All who see them will shake their heads [C in amazement at their downfall].
9 Then everyone will fear God [Prov. 1:7].
They will tell what God has done,
and they will ·learn from [reflect on] what he has done.
10 ·Good [Righteous] people will be happy in the Lord
and will find ·protection [refuge] in him.
Let everyone who is ·honest [virtuous in heart] praise the Lord.

Dios Habla Hoy
Oración pidiendo la protección de Dios
(1) Del maestro de coro. Salmo de David.
64 (2) Dios mío, escucha mi queja;
protege mi vida de terribles enemigos.
2 (3) Escóndeme de los malvados
y de sus planes secretos;
líbrame de la conspiración de los malvados,
3 (4) que afilan su lengua como espada
y lanzan como flechas palabras venenosas.
4 (5) Desde su escondite disparan contra el inocente;
disparan por sorpresa y sin temor.
5 (6) Se animan entre sí a hacer lo malo;
planean poner trampas escondidas
y piensan que nadie podrá verlos,
6 (7) que nadie investigará sus maldades.
Pero aquel que puede conocer
los pensamientos más íntimos del hombre,
hará la investigación.
7 (8) Dios los herirá con sus flechas,
los herirá por sorpresa;
8 (9) caerán por sus propias palabras,
y quienes los vean se burlarán de ellos.
9 (10) Todos entonces honrarán a Dios
y hablarán de sus acciones;
comprenderán lo que él ha hecho.
10 (11) El hombre bueno se alegrará en el Señor
y buscará protección en él,
y todos los hombres honrados
se sentirán satisfechos.
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.
