TranslationPsalm 63For they have sharpened [their tongues] like a sword HEAR GOD/ my prayer/ when I make supplication:/ from the fear of my enemy/ deliver my soul./ You have protected me/ from the assembly of the ill/natured: from the multi/tude of the workers of injustice./ Because they have sharpened their tongue as a sword:/ they have bent the bow a bitter thing:/ that they may shoot in secret the undefiled./ Suddenly they will shoot at him and will not fear:/ they have encouraged themselves in a wicked word./ They have talked that they hid snares:/ they have said who shall see them./ They have searched after injustices:/ they have failed finding out in search./ Man shall come to a deep heart: and god shall be exalted./ The arrows of children are their wounds:/ and their tongues are weakened against them:/ |
