Salmo 64
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Parusa sa Masasamang Tao
64 O Dios, pakinggan nʼyo ang daing ko!
Ingatan nʼyo ang buhay ko mula sa banta ng aking mga kaaway.
2 Ingatan nʼyo ako sa kasamaang pinaplano nila.
3 Naghahanda sila ng matatalim na salita,
na gaya ng espada at palasong nakakasugat.
4 Nagsasalita sila ng masakit sa likod ng mga taong matuwid
na parang namamana nang patago.
Bigla nila itong ginagawa nang walang katakot-takot.
5 Hinihikayat nila ang isaʼt isa na gumawa ng kasamaan
at pinag-uusapan nila kung saan maglalagay ng bitag.
Sinasabi nila, “Walang makakakita nito.”
6 Nagpaplano sila ng masama at sinasabi, “Napakaganda ng plano natin!”
Talagang napakatuso ng isip at puso ng tao!
7 Ngunit papanain sila ng Dios at bigla na lang silang masusugatan.
8 Mapapahamak sila dahil sa masasama nilang sinabi,
kukutyain sila ng mga makakakita sa kanila.
9 At lahat ng tao ay matatakot.
Pag-iisipan nila ang mga ginawa ng Dios at ipahahayag ito sa iba.
10 Magagalak at manganganlong sa Panginoon ang lahat ng matuwid.
At magpupuri sa kanya ang mga gumagawa ng tama.
Psalm 64
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Protection from Evildoers
For the choir director. A psalm of David.
64 God, hear my voice when I am in anguish.(A)
Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.(B)
2 Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,(C)
from the mob of evildoers,(D)
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,(E)
4 shooting from concealed places at the blameless.
They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.(F)
5 They adopt[a] an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
‘Who will see them? ’[b](G)
6 They devise crimes and say,
‘We have perfected a secret plan.’(H)
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.(I)
7 But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly, they will be wounded.(J)
8 They will be made to stumble;
their own tongues work against them.
All who see them will shake their heads.(K)
9 Then everyone will fear
and will tell about God’s work,
for they will understand what he has done.(L)
10 The righteous one rejoices in the Lord
and takes refuge in him;
all those who are upright in heart
will offer praise.(M)

Psalm 64
Prayer for Protection from Enemies
To the leader. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
preserve my life from the dread 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;
they shoot 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 human heart and mind 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 shake with horror.
9 Then everyone will fear;
they will tell what God has brought about,
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.
