Psalms 64

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN 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 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.	2 O God, hear my anguished voice; from the foes I dread protect my life.
3 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.	3 Hide me from the malicious crowd, the mob of evildoers.
4 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.	4 They sharpen their tongues like swords, ready their bows for arrows of poison words.
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 shoot at the innocent from ambush, shoot without risk, catch them unawares.
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 resolve on their wicked plan; they conspire to set snares; they say: "Who will see us?"
7 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.	7 They devise wicked schemes, conceal the schemes they devise; the designs of their hearts are hidden.
8 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,	8 But God will shoot arrows at them and strike them unawares.
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 They will be brought down by their own tongues; all who see them will shake their heads.
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 Then all will fear and proclaim God's deed, pondering what has been done.
11 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.	11 The just will rejoice and take refuge in the LORD; all the upright will glory in their God.
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.
