Psalm 64
New International Version
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.

詩篇 64
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祈求上帝的保護
大衛作的詩,交給樂長。
64 上帝啊,求你傾聽我的苦訴,
求你保護我的性命不受仇敵的威脅。
2 求你保護我免遭惡人的謀害,
使我脫離不法之徒。
3 他們舌頭鋒利如刀,
言語惡毒如箭穿心。
4 他們埋伏起來,
暗箭傷害純全無過的人。
他們突然襲擊,毫無顧忌。
5 他們狼狽為奸,
商量暗設網羅,
以為誰也看不見。
6 他們圖謀不義之事,
認為策劃得無懈可擊。
人心真是狡猾。
7 但上帝必用箭射他們,
將他們突然射倒在地。
8 他們必自作自受,
被自己的舌頭所害。
看見的人都嘲笑他們。
9 這樣,人人必敬畏上帝,
傳揚祂奇妙的作為,
思想祂所做的事。
10 義人必因耶和華而歡欣,
並且投靠祂,
心地正直的人必讚美祂。

Prayer for Protection from Enemies
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy,
2 hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
from the scheming of evildoers,
3 who whet their tongues like swords,
who aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
5 They hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of laying snares secretly,
thinking, “Who can see us?[a]
6 Who can search out our crimes?[b]
We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot.”
For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep!
7 But God will shoot his arrow at them;
they will be wounded suddenly.
8 Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin;[c]
all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Then all men will fear;
they will tell what God has wrought,
and ponder what he has done.
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord,
and take refuge in him!
Let all the upright in heart glory!
