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.

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

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

Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

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

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

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

ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide 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 out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

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

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

et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

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

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

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

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

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

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