The Book of Psalms
Psalm 63
Exaudi Deus orationem.
A prayer in affliction, with confidence in God that he will bring to nought the machinations of persecutors.
 1 |
Unto the end, a psalm for David. |
2 |
Hear O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy. |
3 |
Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity. |
4 |
For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing, |
5 |
To shoot in secret the undefiled. |
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? |
7 |
They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart: |
8 |
And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds: |
9 |
And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled; |
10 |
And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God, and understood his doings. |
11 |
The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised. |
