64:001

For the Leader. A Psalm of David

64:002

Hear my voice, O G-d, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy

64:003

Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity

64:004

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word

64:005

That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not

64:006

They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them

64:007

They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart

64:008

But G-d doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds

64:009

So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head

64:010

10 And all men fear; and they declare the work of G-d, and understand His doing

64:011

The righteous shall be glad in HaShem, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory
