Psalmorum 64

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

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; 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 evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

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

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

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 concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

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

They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

7 et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittae parvulorum factae sunt plagae eorum:

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

8 et infirmatae sunt contra eos linguae eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos:

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

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

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

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

The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
