64:1 To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.

64:2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

64:3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

64:4 To shoot in secret the undefiled.

64:5 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?

64:6 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

64:7 And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

64:8 And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

64:9 And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God, and understood his doings.

64:10 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
