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.

Salmos 64
Reina-Valera Antigua
64 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ESCUCHA, oh Dios, mi voz en mi oración: Guarda mi vida del miedo del enemigo.
2 Escóndeme del secreto consejo de los malignos; De la conspiración de los que obran iniquidad:
3 Que amolaron su lengua como cuchillo, Y armaron por su saeta palabra amarga;
4 Para asaetear á escondidas al íntegro: De improviso 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 el corazón, es profundo.
7 Mas Dios los herirá con saeta; De repente serán sus plagas.
8 Y harán caer sobre sí sus mismas lenguas: Se espantarán todos los que los vieren.
9 Y temerán todos los hombres, Y anunciarán la obra de Dios, Y entenderán su hecho.
10 Alegraráse el justo en Jehová, y confiaráse en él; Y se gloriarán todos los rectos de corazón.

English Standard Version
Hide Me from the Wicked
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my (A)complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from (B)the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who (C)whet their tongues like swords,
who (D)aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from (E)ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and (F)without fear.
5 They (G)hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of (H)laying snares secretly,
thinking, (I)“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For (J)the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
