Davi suplica a Deus que guarde a sua vida e espera que lho conceda

Salmo de Davi para o cantor-mor

64 Ouve, ó Deus, a minha voz na minha oração; livra a minha vida do horror do inimigo. Esconde-me do secreto conselho dos maus e do tumulto dos que praticam a iniquidade, os quais afiaram a sua língua como espadas; e armaram, por suas flechas, palavras amargas, para de lugares ocultos atirarem sobre o que é reto; disparam sobre ele repentinamente e não temem. Firmam-se em mau intento; falam de armar laços secretamente e dizem: Quem nos verá? Fazem indagações maliciosas, inquirem tudo o que se pode inquirir; até o íntimo de cada um e o profundo coração.

Mas Deus disparará sobre eles uma seta, e de repente ficarão feridos. Assim, eles farão com que a sua língua se volte contra si mesmos; todos aqueles que os virem, fugirão. E todos os homens temerão e anunciarão a obra de Deus; e considerarão prudentemente os seus feitos. 10 O justo se alegrará no Senhor e confiará nele; e todos os retos de coração se regozijarão.

Psalm 64[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

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

Hide me from the conspiracy(C) of the wicked,(D)
    from the plots of evildoers.
They sharpen their tongues like swords(E)
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.(F)
They shoot from ambush at the innocent;(G)
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.(H)

They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;(I)
    they say, “Who will see it[b]?”(J)
They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

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

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.
Hide me from (B)the secret plots of the wicked,
    from the throng of evildoers,
who (C)whet their tongues like swords,
    who (D)aim bitter words like arrows,
shooting from (E)ambush at the blameless,
    shooting at him suddenly and (F)without fear.
They (G)hold fast to their evil purpose;
    they talk of (H)laying snares secretly,
thinking, (I)“Who can see them?”
    They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
    For (J)the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

(K)But God shoots his arrow at them;
    they are wounded suddenly.
They are brought to ruin, with their own (L)tongues turned against them;
    all who (M)see them will (N)wag their heads.
Then all mankind (O)fears;
    they (P)tell what God has brought about
    and ponder what he has done.

10 Let (Q)the righteous one rejoice in the Lord
    and (R)take refuge in him!
Let all (S)the upright in heart exult!

Psalm 64

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; guard and preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, from the scheming of evildoers,

Who whet their tongues like a sword, who aim venomous words like arrows,

Who shoot from ambush at the blameless man; suddenly do they shoot at him, without self-reproach or fear.

They encourage themselves in an evil purpose, they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who will discover us?

They think out acts of injustice and say, We have accomplished a well-devised thing! For the inward thought of each one [is unsearchable] and his heart is deep.

But God will shoot an unexpected arrow at them; and suddenly shall they be wounded.

And they will be made to stumble, their own tongues turning against them; all who gaze upon them will shake their heads and flee away.

And all men shall [reverently] fear and be in awe; and they will declare the work of God, for they will wisely consider and acknowledge that it is His doing.

10 The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust and take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory and offer praise.
