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

Unto the end, a Psalm of David.Vnto the end, a Pſalme of Dauid.In finem. Psalmus David.

2Hear O God my prayer when I make petition: from the fear of my enemy deliver my soul.HEARE ô God my prayer when I make petition: from the feare of my enimie deliuer my ſoule.Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor ; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.

3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignantium: cancerous/spiteful; the malicious evildoers: from the multitude of them that work iniquity.Thou a haſt protected me from the b aſſemblie of the malignant: from the multitude of them that worke iniquitie.Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

4Because they have sharpened their tongues as a sword: they have bent the bow a bitter thing,Becauſe they haue ſharpned their tongues as a ſworde: they haue bent the bow a bitter thing,Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas ; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,

5that they may shoot in secret at the immaculatum: the blameless innocent one.that they may ſhoote in ſecretes at the immaculate.ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

6Suddenly they will shoot at him, and will not fear: they have firmaverunt: verified/ratified; strengthened, firmly resolved to themselves a wicked word. They have talked to hide snares: they have said, who shall see them?Sodanely they wil ſhoote at him, and wil not feare : they c haue confirmed to themſelues a wicked worde. They haue talked to hide ſnares : they haue ſaide, who ſhal ſee them?Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt ; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos ; dixerunt : Quis videbit eos ?

7They have searched iniquities: they have failed searching with scrutiny.They haue ſearched iniquities : they d haue failed ſearching with ſcrutanie.Scrutati sunt iniquitates ; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,

8Man shall come to a deep heart: and God shall be exalted.Man ſhal come to a deepe hart: and God ſhal be exalted.et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

9Children's arrows are made their wounds: and their tongues are weakened against them.e Childrens arrowes are made their woundes : and their tongues are weakned againſt them.et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,

10All that saw them were troubled: and every man feared. And they showed forth the works of God: and they understood his doings.Al that ſaw them f were trubled : and euerie man feared. And they ſhewed forth the workes of God: and they vnderſtood his doinges.et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.

11The just shall rejoice in our Lord, and shall hope in him, and all the right of heart shall be praised.The iuſt ſhal reioice in our Lord, and ſhal hope in him, and al the right of hart g ſhal be praiſed.Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.
