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

Protection from Evildoers

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

God, hear my voice when I am in anguish.(A)
Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.(B)
Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,(C)
from the mob of evildoers,(D)
who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,(E)
shooting from concealed places at the blameless.
They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.(F)
They adopt[a] an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?” [b](G)
They devise crimes and say,
“We have perfected a secret plan.”(H)
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.(I)

But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly, they will be wounded.(J)
They will be made to stumble;
their own tongues work against them.
All who see them will shake their heads.(K)
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[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)
