Psalm 64
ISV Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNew American Standard Bible 1995
1Hear, God, as I express my concern; protect me from fear of the enemy.1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the mob of those who practice evil,2Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity,
3who sharpen their tongues like swords, and aim their bitter words like arrows,3Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
4shooting at the innocent from concealment. Suddenly they shoot, fearing nothing.4To shoot from concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
5They concoct an evil scheme for themselves; they enumerate their hidden snares; they say, "Who will see them?" 5They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who can see them?"
6They devise wicked schemes, saying, "We have completed our plans, hiding them deep in our hearts."6They devise injustices, saying, "We are ready with a well-conceived plot"; For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep.
7But God shot an arrow at them, and they were wounded immediately.7But God will shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.
8They tripped over their own tongues, and everyone who was watching ran away.8So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake the head.
9Everyone was gripped with fear and acknowledged God's deeds, understanding what he had done.9Then all men will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.
10The righteous rejoiced in the LORD, because they had fled to him for refuge. Let all the upright in heart exult.10The righteous man will be glad in the LORD and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.
