Psalms 64

Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

SVD

1 اِسْتَمِعْ يَا ٱللهُ صَوْتِي فِي شَكْوَايَ. مِنْ خَوْفِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ ٱحْفَظْ حَيَاتِي.

BSB

2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

SVD

2 ٱسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، مِنْ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ،

BSB

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

SVD

3 ٱلَّذِينَ صَقَلُوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَٱلسَّيْفِ. فَوَّقُوا سَهْمَهُمْ كَلَامًا مُرًّا،

BSB

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

SVD

4 لِيَرْمُوا ٱلْكَامِلَ فِي ٱلْمُخْتَفَى بَغْتَةً. يَرْمُونَهُ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ.

BSB

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

SVD

5 يُشَدِّدُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِأَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ. يَتَحَادَثُونَ بِطَمْرِ فِخَاخٍ. قَالُوا: «مَنْ يَرَاهُمْ؟».

BSB

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

SVD

6 يَخْتَرِعُونَ إِثْمًا، تَمَّمُوا ٱخْتِرَاعًا مُحْكَمًا. وَدَاخِلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَقَلْبُهُ عَمِيقٌ.

BSB

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

SVD

7 فَيَرْمِيهِمِ ٱللهُ بِسَهْمٍ. بَغْتَةً كَانَتْ ضَرْبَتُهُمْ.

BSB

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

SVD

8 وَيُوقِعُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ. يُنْغِضُ ٱلرَّأْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

BSB

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

SVD

9 وَيَخْشَى كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُخْبِرُ بِفِعْلِ ٱللهِ، وَبِعَمَلِهِ يَفْطَنُونَ.

BSB

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.

SVD

10 يَفْرَحُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ كُلُّ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.
