< Psalms 64 >
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
In finem, Psalmus David. Exaudi Deus orationem meam cum deprecor: a timore inimici eripe animam meam.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Protexisti me a conventu malignantium: a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas: intenderunt arcum rem amaram,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they 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 search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
Scrutati sunt iniquitates: defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum:
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum:
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos:
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
et timuit omnis homo. Et annunciaverunt opera Dei: et facta eius intellexerunt.
10 The righteous shall be glad in Yhwh, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Lætabitur iustus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.
