1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \64:1\O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

3 \64:2\Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;

4 \64:3\Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;

5 \64:4\So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.

6 \64:5\They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

7 \64:6\Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.

8 \64:7\But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

9 \64:8\The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

10 \64:9\And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.

11 \64:10\The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ESCUCHA, oh Dios, mi voz en mi oración: Guarda mi vida del miedo del enemigo.

2 Escóndeme del secreto consejo de los malignos; De la conspiración de los que obran iniquidad:

3 Que amolaron su lengua como cuchillo, Y armaron por su saeta palabra amarga;

4 Para asaetear á escondidas al íntegro: De improviso lo asaetean, y no temen.

5 Obstinados en su inicuo designio, Tratan de esconder los lazos, Y dicen: ¿Quién los ha de ver?

6 Inquieren iniquidades, hacen una investigación exacta; Y el íntimo pensamiento de cada uno de ellos, así como el corazón, es profundo.

7 Mas Dios los herirá con saeta; De repente serán sus plagas.

8 Y harán caer sobre sí sus mismas lenguas: Se espantarán todos los que los vieren.

9 Y temerán todos los hombres, Y anunciarán la obra de Dios, Y entenderán su hecho.

10 Alegraráse el justo en Jehová, y confiaráse en él; Y se gloriarán todos los rectos de corazón.
