Psalms 64

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ εἰσάκουσον ὁ θεός τῆς φωνῆς μου ἐν τῷ δέεσθαί με ἀπὸ φόβου ἐχθροῦ ἐξελοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου

2 You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

ἐσκέπασάς με ἀπὸ συστροφῆς πονηρευομένων ἀπὸ πλήθους ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν

3 who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

οἵτινες ἠκόνησαν ὡς ῥομφαίαν τὰς γλώσσας αὐτῶν ἐνέτειναν τόξον αὐτῶν πρᾶγμα πικρὸν

4 to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἄμωμον ἐξάπινα κατατοξεύσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσονται

5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

ἐκραταίωσαν ἑαυτοῖς λόγον πονηρόν διηγήσαντο τοῦ κρύψαι παγίδας εἶπαν τίς ὄψεται αὐτούς

6 They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

ἐξηρεύνησαν ἀνομίας ἐξέλιπον ἐξερευνῶντες ἐξερευνήσει προσελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος καὶ καρδία βαθεῖα

7 and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὁ θεός βέλος νηπίων ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῶν

8 and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

καὶ ἐξησθένησαν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς αἱ γλῶσσαι αὐτῶν ἐταράχθησαν πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτούς

9 and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

καὶ ἐφοβήθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τὰ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ συνῆκαν

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ἐπὶ τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐλπιεῖ ἐπ’ αὐτόν καὶ ἐπαινεσθήσονται πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ
