1Hear my voice, God, in my #64:1 Or concerncomplaint;
Protect my life from dread of the enemy.

From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,
3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
4To shoot #64:4 Lit infrom concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
5They make firm for themselves an evil #64:5 Lit matterpurpose;
They #64:5 Lit tell oftalk of setting snares secretly;
They say, “Who can see them?”
6They #64:6 Or search outdevise injustices, saying,
“We are #64:6 Lit completeready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the #64:6 Or inward partinward thought and the heart of a person are #64:6 Or unsearchabledeep.
