Psalmi 64

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

3 koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

4 da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: “Tko će nas vidjeti?”

They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

6 Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.

They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

7 No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

8 Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

9 svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

10 Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.

The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
