1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. 2 \64:1\O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.3 \64:2\Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;4 \64:3\Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;5 \64:4\So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.6 \64:5\They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,7 \64:6\Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.8 \64:7\But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.9 \64:8\The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.10 \64:9\And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.11 \64:10\The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.

1 In finem. Psalmus David, canticum Jeremi 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 prvaluerunt super nos,et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.5 Beatus quem elegisti et assumpsisti :inhabitabit in atriis tuis.Replebimur in bonis domus tu ;sanctum est templum tuum,6 mirabile in quitate.Exaudi nos, Deus, salutaris noster,spes omnium finium terr, et in mari longe.7 Prparans 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 prparatio ejus.11 Rivos ejus inebria ;multiplica genimina ejus :in stillicidiis ejus ltabitur germinans.12 Benedices coron anni benignitatis tu,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.]
