Psaumes 64
Louis Segond

64 (64:1) Au chef des chantres. Psaume de David. (64:2) O Dieu, écoute ma voix, quand je gémis! Protège ma vie contre l'ennemi que je crains!

2 (64:3) Garantis-moi des complots des méchants, De la troupe bruyante des hommes iniques!

3 (64:4) Ils aiguisent leur langue comme un glaive, Ils lancent comme des traits leurs paroles amères,

4 (64:5) Pour tirer en cachette sur l'innocent; Ils tirent sur lui à l'improviste, et n'ont aucune crainte.

5 (64:6) Ils se fortifient dans leur méchanceté: Ils se concertent pour tendre des pièges, Ils disent: Qui les verra?

6 (64:7) Ils méditent des crimes: Nous voici prêts, le plan est conçu! La pensée intime, le coeur de chacun est un abîme.

7 (64:8) Dieu lance contre eux ses traits: Soudain les voilà frappés.

8 (64:9) Leur langue a causé leur chute; Tous ceux qui les voient secouent la tête.

9 (64:10) Tous les hommes sont saisis de crainte, Ils publient ce que Dieu fait, Et prennent garde à son oeuvre.

10 (64:11) Le juste se réjouit en l'Éternel et cherche en lui son refuge, Tous ceux qui ont le coeur droit se glorifient.

Psalm 64
New International Version

Psalm 64[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;(A)
    protect my life from the threat of the enemy.(B)

2 Hide me from the conspiracy(C) of the wicked,(D)
    from the plots of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords(E)
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.(F)
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;(G)
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.(H)

5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;(I)
    they say, “Who will see it[b]?”(J)
6 They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

7 But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
8 He will turn their own tongues against them(K)
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads(L) in scorn.(M)
9 All people will fear;(N)
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.(O)

10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord(P)
    and take refuge in him;(Q)
    all the upright in heart will glory in him!(R)

Psalm 64
English Standard Version

Hide Me from the Wicked

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

64 Hear my voice, O God, in my (A)complaint;
    preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from (B)the secret plots of the wicked,
    from the throng of evildoers,
3 who (C)whet their tongues like swords,
    who (D)aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from (E)ambush at the blameless,
    shooting at him suddenly and (F)without fear.
5 They (G)hold fast to their evil purpose;
    they talk of (H)laying snares secretly,
thinking, (I)“Who can see them?”
6     They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
    For (J)the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

7 (K)But God shoots his arrow at them;
    they are wounded suddenly.
8 They are brought to ruin, with their own (L)tongues turned against them;
    all who (M)see them will (N)wag their heads.
9 Then all mankind (O)fears;
    they (P)tell what God has brought about
    and ponder what he has done.

10 Let (Q)the righteous one rejoice in the Lord
    and (R)take refuge in him!
Let all (S)the upright in heart exult!
