63:1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.
In finem. Psalmus David.

63:2 Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.

63:3 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

63:4 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,

63:5 to shoot in secret the undefiled.
ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

63:6 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?
Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos; dixerunt: Quis videbit eos?

63:7 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
Scrutati sunt iniquitates; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,

63:8 and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

63:9 and their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,

63:10 and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.

63:11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him; and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.
