Psalmorum 64

1 in finem psalmus David 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 inmaculatum

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 et 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 adnuntiaverunt 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.
