Vers 1

Heed my complaint, O God, and hear me
Save me from all my enemies;
hide me from their conspiracies,
from noisy mobs that make me weary.
O God, be near me!Vers 2

Their tongues the sharpest swords resemble;
a deadly dart is every word
as boldly, by no fear deterred,
they strike the blameless and the humble
to make them stumble.Vers 3

They hatch their schemes for my destruction
and cunningly conceal their snare.
“No one will see it,” they declare
and with their smug self-satisfaction
boast of their action.Vers 4

But God will shoot them with his arrow,
and their own tongues will bring them shame.
Many will shake their heads at them;
their downfall will be quick and thorough,
much to their sorrow.Vers 5

Then all will fear our great defender;
they will God’s mighty deeds proclaim
and, praising his exalted name,
will stand in awe as they all ponder
his works of wonder.Vers 6

Come, praise the LORD for his salvation!
Let all the just in him delight;
let them seek refuge in his might
and thank him for their preservation
with jubilation.Psalm 64 ist ein Psalm von David und gehört zu Buch II (Psalm 42–72) des Psalters.
