Psalm 64
ESV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionInternational Standard Version
1Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.1Hear, God, as I express my concern; protect me from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the mob of those who practice evil,
3who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,3who sharpen their tongues like swords, and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.4shooting at the innocent from concealment. Suddenly they shoot, fearing nothing.
5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?”5They concoct an evil scheme for themselves; they enumerate their hidden snares; they say, "Who will see them?"
6They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.6They devise wicked schemes, saying, "We have completed our plans, hiding them deep in our hearts."
7But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly.7But God shot an arrow at them, and they were wounded immediately.
8They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads.8They tripped over their own tongues, and everyone who was watching ran away.
9Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done.9Everyone was gripped with fear and acknowledged God's deeds, understanding what he had done.
10Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!10The righteous rejoiced in the LORD, because they had fled to him for refuge. Let all the upright in heart exult.
