Psalms 64

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.

In finem. Psalmus David. Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.

2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,

4 To shoot in secret the undefiled.

ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

5 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?

Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos; dixerunt: Quis videbit eos?

6 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

Scrutati sunt iniquitates; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,

7 And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

8 And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,

9 And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.

et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.

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

Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.
