For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint:
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers,
From the {Or, throng}tumult of the workers of iniquity;
Who have whet their tongue like a sword,
And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect:
Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose;
They commune of laying snares privily;
They say, Who will see them?
They search out iniquities;
{Or, as otherwise read. They have accomplished (or, have hidden)}We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search:
And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
But God will shoot at them;
With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.
So {Or, shall they against whom their tongue was make them to stumble}they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them:
All that see them shall {Or, flee away}wag the head.
And all men shall fear;
And they shall declare the work of God,
And shall wisely consider of his doing.
The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him;
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
Querverweise zu Psalm 64,10 Ps 64,10
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Light is sown for the righteous,And gladness for the upright in heart.
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous:Praise is comely for the upright.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth:The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:Many shall see it, and fear,And shall trust in Jehovah.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, {Or, both rightousness and sanctification and redemption}and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
that, according as it is written, {Jeremiah 9:23 f.}He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:As wax melteth before the fire,So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through {Or, whom}which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God:Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
