1(65) For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
3The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
4Blessed [is he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.
4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
5[You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:
5They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
6who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
6They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
7who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
7But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
8The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
8Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
9All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
10Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
10The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
