Psalmorum 64

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

Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

4 ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

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

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

But Elohim shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

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

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of Elohim; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

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

The righteous shall be glad in YHWH, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
