Psalms 64

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.

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

2 Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.

Protexisti me a conventu malignantium: a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

3 Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.

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

4 To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.

ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

5 They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?

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

6 They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.

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

7 But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.

et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum:

8 They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.

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

9 And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.

et timuit omnis homo. Et annunciaverunt opera Dei: et facta eius intellexerunt.

10 But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.

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