64
1 (For the one directing. Mizmor of Dovid)
2 Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my si'akh (complaint);
preserve my life from the pachad (terror) of the oyev (enemy).
3 Hide me from the sod (secret counsel, conspiracy) of the re'im;
from the rigshah (insurrection, noisy crowd, assembly) of the workers of iniquity;
4 Who whet their tongue like a cherev,
and aim their khitzim (arrows), even davar mar (bitter words);
5 That they may shoot in secret at the tam (innocent);
pitom (suddenly) do they shoot at him, and fear not.
6 They encourage themselves in a davar rah (an evil plan);
they speak in order to set mokshim (snares, hidden traps);
they say, Who shall see them?
7 Or search out their iniquities?
They have accomplished a cunningly devised plot;
for the mind of ish (man) and the lev (heart) are deep.
8 But Elohim shall shoot at them with a khetz (arrow);
pitom (suddenly) shall their wounds be.
9 So the leshon of them will bring ruin upon them;
all that see them shall shake their head.
10 And kol adam shall fear,
and shall declare the po'al Elohim (work of G-d);
for they shall ponder His ma'aseh.
11 The tzaddik shall be glad in Hashem, and shall take refuge in Him;
and all the yishrei lev (upright of heart) shall glory.
