Psalmi 64
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
64 In finem. Psalmus David, canticum Jeremiae et Ezechielis populo transmigrationis, cum inciperent exire.
2 Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
3 Exaudi orationem meam; ad te omnis caro veniet.
4 Verba iniquorum praevaluerunt super nos, et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.
5 Beatus quem elegisti et assumpsisti: inhabitabit in atriis tuis. Replebimur in bonis domus tuae; sanctum est templum tuum,
6 mirabile in aequitate. Exaudi nos, Deus, salutaris noster, spes omnium finium terrae, et in mari longe.
7 Praeparans montes in virtute tua, accinctus potentia;
8 qui conturbas profundum maris, sonum fluctuum ejus. Turbabuntur gentes,
9 et timebunt qui habitant terminos a signis tuis; exitus matutini et vespere delectabis.
10 Visitasti terram, et inebriasti eam; multiplicasti locupletare eam. Flumen Dei repletum est aquis; parasti cibum illorum: quoniam ita est praeparatio ejus.
11 Rivos ejus inebria; multiplica genimina ejus: in stillicidiis ejus laetabitur germinans.
12 Benedices coronae anni benignitatis tuae, et campi tui replebuntur ubertate.
13 Pinguescent speciosa deserti, et exsultatione colles accingentur.
14 Induti sunt arietes ovium, et valles abundabunt frumento; clamabunt, etenim hymnum dicent.
Psalm 64
New King James Version
Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my [a]meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
(A)And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
(B)They say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
(C)All who see them shall flee away.
9 All men shall fear,
And shall (D)declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
10 (E)The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.

Psalm 64
English Standard Version
Hide Me from the Wicked
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my (A)complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from (B)the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who (C)whet their tongues like swords,
who (D)aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from (E)ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and (F)without fear.
5 They (G)hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of (H)laying snares secretly,
thinking, (I)“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For (J)the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
