Chapter 63

A prayer of the just reposing their whole trust in God: ℣.7 and rejoicing that the enemies' machinations are frustrate.

1. 1

   Unto the end, a Psalm of David.

2. 2

   petition: from the fear of my enemy Hear o God my prayer when I make deliver my soul.

3. 3

   Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant: from the multitude of them that work iniquity.

4. 4

   Because they have sharpened their tongues as a sword: they have bent the bow a bitter thing,

5. 5

   that they may shoot in secrets at the immaculate.

6. 6

   Suddenly they will shoot at him, and will not fear: they have confirmed to themselves a wicked word. They have talked to hide snares: they have said, Who shall see them?

7. 7

   They have searched iniquities: they have failed searching with scrutiny.

8. 8

   Man shall come to a deep heart: and God shall be exalted. Children's arrows are made their wounds:

9. 9

   and their tongues are weakened against them. All that saw them were troubled:

10. 10

    and every man feared. And they shewed forth the works of God: and they understood his doings.

11. 11

    The just shall rejoice in our Lord, and shall hope in him, & all the right of heart shall be praised.
