For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. (MT 64:2; LXX 63:1; LXX 63:2; Rahlfs 63:1; Rahlfs 63:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity, (MT 64:3; Rahlfs 63:3)
שְׁמַע־אֱלֹהִ֣ים קוֹלִ֣י בְשִׂיחִ֑י מִפַּ֥חַד א֝וֹיֵ֗ב תִּצֹּ֥ר חַיָּֽי׃
3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows, (MT 64:4; LXX 63:4; Rahlfs 63:4)
תַּ֭סְתִּירֵנִי מִסּ֣וֹד מְרֵעִ֑ים מֵ֝רִגְשַׁ֗ת פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
4ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear. (MT 64:5; LXX 63:5; Rahlfs 63:5)
אֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁנְנ֣וּ כַחֶ֣רֶב לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם דָּרְכ֥וּ חִ֝צָּ֗ם דָּבָ֥ר מָֽר׃
5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say. (MT 64:6; LXX 63:6; Rahlfs 63:6)
לִיר֣וֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִ֣ים תָּ֑ם פִּתְאֹ֥ם יֹ֝רֻ֗הוּ וְלֹ֣א יִירָֽאוּ׃
6They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious. (MT 64:7; LXX 63:7; Rahlfs 63:7)
יְחַזְּקוּ־לָ֨מוֹ ׀ דָּ֘בָ֤ר רָ֗ע יְֽ֭סַפְּרוּ לִטְמ֣וֹן מוֹקְשִׁ֑ים אָ֝מְר֗וּ מִ֣י יִרְאֶה־לָּֽמוֹ׃
7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded. (MT 64:8; LXX 63:8; Rahlfs 63:8)
יַֽחְפְּֽשׂוּ־עוֹלֹ֗ת תַּ֭מְנוּ חֵ֣פֶשׂ מְחֻפָּ֑שׂ וְקֶ֥רֶב אִ֝֗ישׁ וְלֵ֣ב עָמֹֽק׃
8They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads. (MT 64:9; LXX 63:9; Rahlfs 63:9)
וַיֹּרֵ֗ם אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֥ץ פִּתְא֑וֹם הָ֝י֗וּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃
9Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done. (MT 64:10; LXX 63:10; Rahlfs 63:10)
וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּהוּ עָלֵ֣ימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם יִ֝תְנֹדֲד֗וּ כָּל־רֹ֥אֵה בָֽם׃
10Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult. (MT 64:11; LXX 63:11; Rahlfs 63:11)
וַיִּֽירְא֗וּ כָּל־אָ֫דָ֥ם וַ֭יַּגִּידוּ פֹּ֥עַל אֱלֹהִ֗ים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥הוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃
