Psalms 64

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

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

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

protexisti me a conventu malignantium a multitudine operantium iniquitatem

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas intenderunt arcum rem amaram

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

ut sagittent in occultis inmaculatum

5 They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

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

6 They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

scrutati sunt iniquitates defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio accedet homo et cor altum

7 But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

et exaltabitur Deus sagittae parvulorum factae sunt plagae eorum

8 So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

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

9 And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.

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

10 The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.

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