Psalm 64In Hebrew texts 64:1-10 is numbered 64:2-11.
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the plots of evildoers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it64:5 Or us?”
6They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
10The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!

164:1 a Zab 55:2 b Zab 140:1Ayi Katonda, owulire eddoboozi lyange, ery’okwemulugunya kwange;
okuume obulamu bwange eri okutiisibwatiisibwa omulabe.
264:2 Zab 56:6; 59:2Onkweke mpone enkwe z’abakola ebibi,
onzigye mu kibinja ky’aboonoonyi, abaleekaana
364:3 Zab 58:7abawagala ennimi zaabwe ng’ebitala,
ne balasa ebigambo byabwe ng’obusaale obutta.
464:4 a Zab 11:2 b Zab 55:19Beekweka ne bateega oyo atalina musango bamulase;
amangwago ne bamulasa nga tebatya.
564:5 Zab 10:11Bawagiragana mu kigendererwa kyabwe ekibi
ne bateesa okutega emitego mu kyama;
ne boogera nti, “Ani asobola okutulaba?”
6Beekobaana okukola ebitali bya bwenkanya, ne boogera nti,
“Tukoze enteekateeka empitirivu.”
Ddala ddala ebirowoozo by’omuntu n’omutima gwe byekusifu.
7Naye Katonda alibalasa n’obusaale bwe;
alibafumita, mangwago ne bagwa ku ttaka.

ne bategeeza abalala omulimu gwa Katonda,
ne bafumiitiriza ku ebyo by’akoze.

Abo bonna abalina omutima omulongoofu bamutenderezenga!
