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 inmaculatum

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 et cor altum

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

et exaltabitur Deus sagittae parvulorum factae sunt plagae eorum

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

et infirmatae sunt contra eos linguae 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 adnuntiaverunt 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.

laetabitur iustus in Domino et sperabit in eo et laudabuntur omnes recti corde
