Psalms 64

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.
2 O God, hear my anguished voice; from the foes I dread protect my life.	2 Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee : deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
3 Hide me from the malicious crowd, the mob of evildoers.	3 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
4 They sharpen their tongues like swords, ready their bows for arrows of poison words.	4 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
5 They shoot at the innocent from ambush, shoot without risk, catch them unawares.	5 to shoot in secret the undefiled.
6 They resolve on their wicked plan; they conspire to set snares; they say: "Who will see us?"	6 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?
7 They devise wicked schemes, conceal the schemes they devise; the designs of their hearts are hidden.	7 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
8 But God will shoot arrows at them and strike them unawares.	8 and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
9 They will be brought down by their own tongues; all who see them will shake their heads.	9 and their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
10 Then all will fear and proclaim God's deed, pondering what has been done.	10 and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
11 The just will rejoice and take refuge in the LORD; all the upright will glory in their God.	11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
