1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \64:1\O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

3 \64:2\Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;

4 \64:3\Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;

5 \64:4\So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.

6 \64:5\They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

7 \64:6\Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.

8 \64:7\But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

9 \64:8\The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

10 \64:9\And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.

11 \64:10\The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.

1 神啊！ 我哀诉的时候， 求你垂听我的声音； 求你保护我的性命， 脱离仇敌的恐吓。

2 求你把我隐藏， 使我脱离恶人的阴谋， 脱离作孽的人的扰乱。

3 他们磨快自己的舌头， 如同刀剑； 他们吐出恶毒的言语， 好像利箭，

4 要在暗地里射杀完全的人； 他们忽然射杀他， 毫不惧怕。

5 他们彼此鼓励， 设下恶计， 商议暗设网罗， 说： "谁能看见它们呢？"

6 他们图谋奸恶， 说： "我们设计了最精密的阴谋！ "人的意念和心思实在深不可测。

7 但 神要用箭射他们， 他们必忽然受伤。

8 他们各人反被自己的舌头所害， 必然跌倒； 所有看见他们的， 都必摇头。

9 众人都要惧怕， 要传扬 神的作为， 并且要思想他所作的事。

10 愿义人因耶和华欢喜， 并且投靠他； 愿所有心里正直的人， 都因他夸耀。
