Psalms 64

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.	1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.	2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.	3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.	4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:	5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.	6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.	7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,	8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.	9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.	10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
11 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
13 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
14 The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
