Tehillim 64

2Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my si'akh (complaint) ;

preserve my life from the pachad (terror) of the oyev (enemy) .

3Hide me from the sod (secret counsel, conspiracy) of the re'im;

from the rigshah (insurrection, noisy crowd, assembly) of the workers of iniquity;

4Who whet their tongue like a cherev,

and aim their khitzim (arrows) , even davar mar (bitter words) ;

5That they may shoot in secret at the tam (innocent) ;

pitom (suddenly) do they shoot at him, and fear not.

6They encourage themselves in a davar rah (an evil plan) ;

they speak in order to set mokshim (snares, hidden traps) ;

they say, Who shall see them?

7Or search out their iniquities?

They have accomplished a cunningly devised plot;

for the mind of ish (man) and the lev (heart) are deep.

8But Elohim shall shoot at them with a khetz (arrow) ;

pitom (suddenly) shall their wounds be.

9So the leshon of them will bring ruin upon them;

all that see them shall shake their head.

10And kol adam shall fear,

and shall declare the po'al Elohim (work of G-d) ;

for they shall ponder His ma'aseh.

11The tzaddik shall be glad in Hashem , and shall take refuge in Him;

and all the yishrei lev (upright of heart) shall glory.
