063:010 They shall be given over to the power of the sword.
They shall be jackal food.
063:011 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him
will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies
shall be silenced.
064:001 <<For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.>> Hear my voice,
God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
064:002 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy
crowd of the ones doing evil;
064:003 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows,
deadly words,
064:004 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him
suddenly and fearlessly.
064:005 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying
snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"
064:006 They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!"
Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.
064:007 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck
down with an arrow.
064:008 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will
shake their heads.
064:009 All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God,
and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
064:010 The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him.
All the upright in heart shall praise him!
065:001 <<For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.>> Praise
waits for you, God, in Zion. To you shall vows be performed.
065:002 You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
065:003 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
065:004 Blessed is one whom you choose, and cause to come near,
that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with
the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
065:005 By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of
our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth,
of those who are far away on the sea;
065:006 Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed
yourself with strength;
065:007 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
065:008 They also who dwell in far-away places are afraid at your wonders.
You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.
065:009 You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it.
The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain,
for so you have ordained it.
065:010 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it
with showers. You bless it with a crop.
065:011 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts
overflow with abundance.
065:012 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are
clothed with gladness.
065:013 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are
clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.
066:001 <<For the Chief Musician.
