Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 64

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
  2. 2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
  3. 3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
  4. 4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
  5. 5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
  6. 6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
  7. 7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
  8. 8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
  9. 9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
  10. 10 Let the righteous rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult. BSB transformation LORD -> Yahweh Before Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult. After Let the righteous rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
