PSALMS 诗篇064

PSALM¹ 64
1Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2Hide me from the conspiracy² of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
4They shoot from ambush³ at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
5They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares⁴; they say, "Who will see them ?"
6They plot injustice⁵ and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down.
8He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
10Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!
