Psalms 64
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Salmo de Davi, para o regente: Ouve, Deus, minha voz, em minha meditação [de súplica] ; guarda minha vida do terror do inimigo.
2Esconde-me do grupo dos malignos, e do ajuntamento dos praticantes de maldade,
3Que afiam sua língua como [se fosse] espada; e armaram palavras amargas [como se fossem] flechas.
4Para atirarem no inocente às escondidas; disparam apressadamente contra ele, e não têm medo.
5Eles são ousados para [fazerem] coisas más, comentam sobre como esconder armadilhas, [e] dizem: Quem as verá?
6Eles buscam por perversidades; procuram tudo o que pode ser procurado, até o interior de [cada] homem, e as profundezas do coração.
7Mas Deus os atingirá com flecha de repente; e [logo] serão feridos.
8E a língua deles fará com que tropecem em si mesmos; todo aquele que olhar para eles se afastará.
9E todos os homens terão medo, e anunciarão a obra de Deus, e observarão cuidadosamente o que ele fez.
10O justo se alegará no SENHOR, e confiará nele; e todos os corretos de coração [o] glorificarão.
