Psalms 64
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1(64-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (64-2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
1To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.
2(64-3) Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
2A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
3(64-4) Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
3O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
4(64-5) That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
4The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
5(64-6) They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.
5Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
6(64-7) They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
6Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
7(64-8) But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.
7Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
8(64-9) So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.
8Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
9(64-10) And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.
9And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
10(64-11) The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
10Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
