Psalm 64

Psalm

A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

 God, you are my God! I earnestly search for you,

my soul thirsts for you, and my flesh longs for you,

in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 So I have looked on you in the sanctuary,

to see your power and your glory.

3 Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

4 So I will bless you with my life;

I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 It will be like when my throat is satisfied with fatty meats and rich foods;

with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,

6 when I remember you on my bed

and meditate on you in the night hours.

7 For you have been my help,

and in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

8 My soul clings to you;

your right hand supports me.

9 But those who seek to destroy my life

will go down into the lowest parts of the earth; 10 they will be given over to the power of the sword,

and they will become food for the jackals.

11 But the king will rejoice in God;

everyone who swears by him will exult,

but the mouth of those who speak lies will be shut.

Psalm

For the chief musician. A psalm of David.

 Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint;

preserve my life from fear of my enemies.

2 Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers,

from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like swords;

they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,

4 so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent;

suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil plan;

they consult privately together in order to set traps;

they say, “Who will see us?”

6 They invent sinful plans;

“We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.”

The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.

7 But God will shoot them;

suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.

8 They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them;

all who see them will wag their heads.

9 All people will fear

and will declare God’s deeds.

They will wisely think about what he has done.

10 The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him;

all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
