Psm64:1 To victory, the psalm of David. God, hear thou my prayer, when I beseech; deliver thou my soul from dread of the enemy. ( To victory, the song of David. God, hear thou my prayer, when I beseech thee; save thou me from the threats of my enemies.)
Psm64:2 Thou hast defended me from the covent of evil-doers; from the multitude of them that work wickedness. (Thou hast protected me from the plots of the evil-doers; yea, from the many who do evil.)
Psm64:3 For they sharpened their tongues as a sword, they bend their bow, a bitter thing; (For they sharpened their tongues like swords, yea, they bent their bows, and shot out bitter words;)
Psm64:4 for to shoot in huddles, or privates , him that is unwemmed. Suddenly they shall shoot him, and they shall not dread; (to secretly attack he who is without blemish, or without fault . Suddenly they shall shoot at him, and they shall not fear;)
Psm64:5 they made steadfast to themselves a wicked word. They told, that they should hide snares; they said, Who shall see them? (for they encouraged each other in their evil plots. And they told one another to hide their snares; even though they also said, But who shall see them?)
Psm64:6 They sought wickednesses; they sought, and failed (not) in seeking. A man nighed to [a] deep heart; (They sought out wickednesses; yea, they sought them out, and failed not in finding them, for their hearts be dark and deep.)
Psm64:7 and God shall be enhanced. The arrows of little men, that is, (of) envious men , be made the wounds of them; (But God shall shoot his arrows at them; and then suddenly they shall be the ones who be wounded.)
Psm64:8 and the tongues of them be made sick against them. All men be troubled, that saw them; (And their tongues, that is , their own evil words , shall be their own undoing. And all who see them shall shake their heads;)
Psm64:9 and each man dreaded. And they told the works of God; and they understood the deeds of him. (and every person shall be afraid. And they shall tell about the works of God; for they shall understand his deeds, that is , why he hath done all this .)
Psm64:10 The just man shall be glad in the Lord, and shall hope in him; and all men of rightful heart shall be praised. (The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust him; and all who have upright hearts shall praise him. )
