Psalmorum 64

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

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.

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

Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.

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

Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.

4 ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.

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

They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.

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

But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.
