Revised Literal Translation

Psalms 64:2-6

2HideH5641 me from the secret counselH5475 of the wickedH7489; from the insurrectionH7285 of the workersH6466 of iniquityH205:

3Who whetH8150 their tongueH3956 like a swordH2719, and bendH1869 their bows to shoot their arrowsH2671, even bitterH4751 wordsH1697:

4That they may shootH3384 in secretH4565 at the perfectH8535: suddenlyH6597 do they shootH3384 at him, and fearH3372 not.

5They encourageH2388 themselves in an evilH7451 matterH1697: they communeH5608 of layingH2934 snaresH4170 privilyH2934; they sayH559, Who shall seeH7200 them?1 2

6They search outH2664 iniquitiesH5766; they accomplishH8552 a diligentH2664 searchH2665: both the inwardH7130 thought of every oneH376 of them, and the heartH3820, is deepH6013.3 4
