Psalmorum 64

1 in finem psalmus David exaudi Deus orationem meam cum deprecor a timore inimici eripe animam meam

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.

2 protexisti me a conventu malignantium a multitudine operantium iniquitatem

You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.

3 quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas intenderunt arcum rem amaram

For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,

4 ut sagittent in occultis inmaculatum

so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.

5 subito sagittabunt eum et non timebunt firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos dixerunt quis videbit eos

They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, “Who will see them?”

6 scrutati sunt iniquitates defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio accedet homo et cor altum

They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,

7 et exaltabitur Deus sagittae parvulorum factae sunt plagae eorum

and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,

8 et infirmatae sunt contra eos linguae eorum conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos

and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;

9 et timuit omnis homo et adnuntiaverunt opera Dei et facta eius intellexerunt

and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.

10 laetabitur iustus in Domino et sperabit in eo et laudabuntur omnes recti corde

The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.
